Validation Select the kind of validation to apply to this field. The choices are:
Error
Message
• No validation - response is not checked
• Cannot be blank - Response is required. The format of the response is
not checked. If you assign Cannot be blank, the field is surrounded by
red dashes when it appears on your Web site.
• Custom - See ”Custom Validation” on page 599
Enter text that appears if a site visitor‘s response does not satisfy the
validation criterion. For example, if the validation criterion is Cannot be blank,
the error message could be Please enter a response.
By default, the error message is the same as the validation criterion. Use this
field to customize its text.
Note: You can only enter double-byte characters if your Windows settings
include that language. If you enter characters that are not in a language
defined in your Windows settings, question marks (?) appear instead of the
characters.
