Julio,
It is much more efficient to do that type of validation client-side, using
Javascript. No
sense in making another round trip to the server if not necessary.
Here is a quicke example:
if (document.autoform.txtVehicleNumber.value == ""){
document.autoform.txtVehicleNumber.focus()
alert("Enter fleet vehicle number")
return false
}
Have a look at http://www.wsabstract.com/ for good
javascript info.
good luck,
Phil J.
