Probably really simple but... how do I set the required fields? I had done it within the html but that's not working.

<input type="hidden" name="required" value="name,email,message" />

I made my form in dreamweaver and have uploaded it to my site as a separate html page for now because when I paste that code into the html feild of chrono forms, it all works - except the required fields. In chrono forms (within joomla) people can submit the form without filling in the required fields.

I want to be able to have my form within my joomla template using chrono forms, but the required fields needs to work. Is there anoher way it is done other than entering it in the html section?

Of course, there must be some javascript code made by dreamweaver somewhere inside the code or in a separate file which must be referenced or included in Chronoforms JS box!!

Hi artistjewel,

I agree, but there must be some js somewhere or fields won't be validated on the client side, may be on the server side!!

Cheers
