form field validation (conditional)

<i><b>Originally posted by : Roy (rshorter@kpmg.com)</b></i><br />I need to make certain fields on a database insert/update form require that values be entered, but only when other fields on the same page have a specific value selected from a drop down list. Any ideas?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />

<i><b>Originally posted by : steve</b></i><br />you can either use javascript to validate on the client side or once the form is submitted you can check for like <br />If request("somefield") = "" then <br />response.redirect "yourform.asp"<br />End If<br /><br />go to asptoday.com and do a search on validation. there are some good articles on this.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Roy at 3/15/2000 9:44:31 AM<br /><br />I need to make certain fields on a database insert/update form require that values be entered, but only when other fields on the same page have a specific value selected from a drop down list.
