Like on a page you would append or replace try like this example[showif [form.firm]=]
You must enter a Rep Firm Name
Use your Browser back button to return to the previous page. [/showif][showif [form.contact]=]
You must enter a Contact Name
Use your Browser back button to return to the previous page. [/showif][showif [form.tradech]=]
You must click on one of the Trade Channel buttons
Use your Browser back button to return to the previous page. [/showif][showif [form.rtype]=]
You must click on one of the Job Function
Use your Browser back button to return to the previous page. [/showif][showif [math]errorCount[/math]=0]
