I think you are making this alot harder than it has to be, and this should actually be asked in the javascript section, where as everybody uses javascript to check against empty input boxes. The simplest way to do this is to put onsubmit="javascriptFuncion()" on the form to check it before posting. From there you'll use if statements to check against empty boxes (ie if(form1.name == "") then send an alert or something)
the form is working fine..it's when all the fields are not filled in that we don't get the email. i have 3 required fields...and if the others are not filled then i won't get the email.
