Hi Walter, There's a good tutorial on how to design forms at: http://www.zope.org/Members/jules/smarterforms_html I like to let javascript handle the validation, it lightens the load a little on the server. I use Regular Expressions to check the validity of each field. There's a tutorial at: http://www.netpedia.com/features/javascript/objects2/ There was also a recent flurry of postings on this subject. You can search for them at: http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/$$Search?OpenForm Hope that helps, Eric. -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Walter Pleyer Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 6:45 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Rookie Question - Syntax Hi folks! I am a Zope/Python-Rookie and Ihave a probably quite simple problem: I must check if some must-fields from a form were filled out by a user. Checking data from a single field is no problem, but what's the correct syntax for checking more than one field (e.g. "name", "address", "email") ?

I probably could answer your question as stated, but I'm too lazy. Instead, I will say that you should do such a thing from JavaScript instead. This is a discussion for elsewhere, and I'd be happy to take the discussion off-line... -- "Where is the fancy bread, in the heart or in the head?"
