Hi,
I have a form with a few input boxes.I want to be sure that required text boxes are filled before submiting form so I have a client side validating in place.When user try to submit form without filling required box,I also want image of arrow to show and point to blank box.
I tried few things -changing picture property of image but it's not working. I guess it should set image to visible.Is this possible,
Any idea appreciated,
Lyn

Lyn,

I'm new at this too, but here's a thought.

Using Javascript, you could place an image after each field set to nothing. Then, in you're validation code, change the image src for image tag to an arrow.

Hope this helps some.

I know how you could do this in javascript. hide the pic until a event is done like this.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function showMe() {
document.all.MyList.style.display = "";
}
</SCRIPT>
<BODY onclick="showMe()">
<UL ID=MyList STYLE="display:none">
<LI><img src="pic1.gif">
<LI><img src="pic2.gif">
<LI>Show and hide pic's
</UL>
</BODY>

give me a minute and I'll try to convert to Vbscript provide tools to let people become their best.
