    Posted: 19 November 2004 at 8:44pm

I am making a form for my website and I am trying to find a way to figure whether or not a form field was left blank or not mainly for validation purposes.

What I actually have is a form field First and I want to be sure a user types a first name. NO javascipt because this is for e-com. thanks for any help.

Dim strFormFieldValue

strFormFieldValue = Request.form("fieldName")
If strFormFieldValue = "" then
    'Form field wasn't edited
Else
    'Form field was edited
End if

You may want to change 
strFormFieldValue = Request.form("fieldName")
to 
strFormFieldValue = Trim(Request.form("fieldName"))
to get rid of any spaces the user may have entered

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
