Hi, on my web site I have a place for people to register
and leave an email address. I have found some people do
not place a correct email. (missing @ and .com) I have
gone under "text box properties" then clicked "validate",
and under "data type" it gives me no options for what I
want to do. I'm I doing something wrong?

Please help.

Thanks
Mary

You're not doing anything wrong; FrontPage just doesn't
have a feature for validating e-mail addresses.

There is, however, hope. If you browse
http://www.google.com and search for the keywords:
validate email address javascript
you'll find several billion ways to solve your problem.

The only catch is that custom javascript validation and
FrontPage validation don't coexist very well. Within a
given page you generally have to use one or the other
exclusively.

Hi Mary,

FP (all versions) does not provide that type of validation. You may wish to
look at J-Bots Form Components and specifically the Validate Email Address
component.
