Thank you for that fatjacK, but i still have one question to ask how do i set it up to check if the email address as being inputed right (eg not just the word test, to just bypass)

Thanks

I've just tried it myself and the link I gave you explained how to get rid of the required fields but not really how to add them.

I'm a bit of a newbie myself but I tried this and it seemed to work:

[b]1.[/b] open form.php and find:

[quote]if(document.book.gb_name.value == "") {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost1]");
document.book.gb_name.focus();
return false;
}[/quote]

copy and paste it immediately below and change gb_name to gb_email and ("$LANG[ErrorPost1]") to ("$LANG[ErrorPost12]")

thus:

[quote]if(document.book.gb_email.value == "") {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost12]");
document.book.gb_name.focus();
return false;
}[/quote]

[b]2.[/b]still in form.php find

[quote] $LANG[FormEmail]:[/quote]

and just add an * between [FormEmail] and :

[b]3.[/b] open english.php in the lang directory find the lines that begin with $lang and insert this one:

[quote]$LANG["ErrorPost12"] = "You forgot to fill in the email field. Please correct it and re-submit.";[/quote]
as to verifying the email address I suspect a $VARS needs creating to ensure input is wildcard@wildcard - but thats beyond me.[/quote]

thanks fatjacK, i sorted that bit out, at the mo if i leave it blank it tells me to fill it in, but then i can put just put 1 letter in the box and it passes, where i need the full email address

try this:

[quote]if(document.book.gb_email.value.search(/^.+@.+\..+$/)) {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost12]");
document.book.gb_name.focus();
return false;
}[/quote]

Forcing people to leave an email will either scare them off or they will end up just putting crap@crap.blah
