Validate HTML form data
Dreamweaver can add JavaScript code that checks the contents of specified text fields to ensure that the user has
entered the correct type of data.
You can use Spry form widgets to build your forms and validate the contents of specified form elements. For more
information, consult the Spry topics listed below.
You can also build ColdFusion and ASP.NET forms in Dreamweaver that validate the contents of specified fields. For
ASP.NET forms, you can insert ASP.NET validation controls in Code view. For more information, consult the
ColdFusion and ASP.NET chapter listed below.

from the list.

Set the validation rules for each text field, and click OK.
For example, you might specify that a text field for a person’s age accepts only numbers.
