Verifying Disscussion Forum Submissions

[Bernie]

My website contains a FP Discussion Forum. Using the built-
in validation in the Form Field Properties I can insure
that the input is valid. If it is not, FP displays a
default Invalid Input page. However, after clearing the
Invalid Input page the user is returned to a blank form;
all previous input has been cleared.

Does anyone have a solution that prevents the input that
the user has entered from being cleared?

Thanks Bernie

Hi Bernie.

You can save the user's original input into a variable and when/if the
FP error validation occurs you can re-write that info back into the
field. You might need to hone some VBScript/JavaScript skills
though.......

Burton,

Thanks, I'll give that a try! I had written a javascript
function that tested the form fields. If the input in a
field was incorrect, an alert was issued and the function
returned false. I then used the form's onsubmit event to
return the false value. However, with all the webots I
confused FP. If your have any scripts that would give me
a kickstart, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again, Bernie
