Don't forget to pack the field name along as param1:RequiredField [redirect /errors/forms.html?command=showpage¶m1=[param1]]Then write your error page with the showif's:[showif [param1]=name]
You forgot to enter your name.[/showif] [showif [param1]=address1]
You forgot to enter your street address.[/showif] Please use your browser’s “Back” button and complete the form.
This way you can use one page for as many forms as needed. Just add a showif for each new RequiredField.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : Brian.Drum :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: mailto:bdrum@aecsoft.com : : Web.Designer :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: http://www.aecsoft.com : : AEC.Software;.Inc.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: tel:703.450.1980 :::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
