This page works and the form email is sent.
The required fields are fname,lname,company and email.
However, if they leave off one of the required fields it goes to the "Thank you for submitting " second half of the if/else.
How can I get them to stay in the form until all the required fields are entered?
Do I need to use javascript or php but I need them to stay inside the if.
I didn't use the
tags because I am using <?php ?> as enclosing brackets around the html.
I tried using echo to echo out the html but I am fixing this page and it is a jumble of nested tables, css, html and javascript. using echo just got so confusing I gave up.THANKS,
