RequiredFields is meant to be a simplistic way to display error messages. If you want to make nicer-looking pages, just use WebDNA to check for valid fields:[ShowIf [field1]=] Sorry, you've got to fill in the Widget information
[/ShowIf][ShowIf [email]=] Sorry, you've got to fill in your email address
