requiered field & Custom HTML code

I've made a custom chronoform with the several Fields of this kind of code:

  <div class="reihe">
    <span class="label">E-Mail</span>
    <span class="feld"><input type="text" class="defbreite" /></span>
  </div>

No I want to make this field "E-Mail" requiered. So i go to "Validation" tab in Edit mode and write "E-Mail" in the first field (required)
but nothing happens.

The instructions are, to write the "fieldname" into the validation feild, but what IS the fieldname and where do I get the fieldnames out of my code?

Thanks for your help I apreciate that

Hi Castor,

Please go find a basic HTML Form tutorial, W3Schools has one I think.

A valid input tag **must** have a name attribute (except for submit & reset inputs).
