ASP Script to email

[Sean]

I have several forms on my site that use several different ASP scripts to
collect form contents and send to email.

All forms have required fields (validated by frontpage server extensions)
and cannot be submitted unless completed.

What I can't figure out is that on many occassions I receive an email from
the ASP scripts with no form contents, which is impossible!.

Is it possible that the ASP script is being triggered or run by something
other than the form?

Thanks

Sean

Client-side validation is done via JavaScript, which can be turned off in
browsers.

it is a one page emailing form that uses server side form validiation

once you look at how it works you can easily add more firlds to it if you
like

Thanks Ken,

Perhaps I haven't explained myself properly. Everyday I get a dozen or so
emails from asp scripts on my site with no form contents included.

I don't have a problem with validation of the form, I just don't understand
how I can be getting empty emails at all hours of the day including 3am
unless there's some nutcase out there who has disabled Javascript in his
browser and has nothing better to do than continuously submit forms on my
site without entering any data.

I wondered whether my scripts were somehow being used for spam

Perhaps I'm starting to sound a little loopy?

Not loopy

Your visitor most likely is not some goof doing this at 3am-
it is probably some type of bot- and bots don't do
javascript.
