Thank you both! I will have to play around with both of these and see what I can get working!

Thanks for your help. I've been trying to use 'include' and other options, but none have worked so far. I might have to skip the validation.

That works great, except how do I display that error in the same page (maybe a separate span)?

What happens is, the message gets displayed in a new window and the form gets sent anyway. I guess I just want to validate that there is something in the name and emails fields and email only be sent IF there is something in those fields.

Yes. That's really all I need. Sorry, now where do I incorporate this? Also, can I choose where the error will be displayed?

Hi all, I have a contact form that works fine, I just need some REALLY BASIC validation added. As long as someone types in ANYTHING into the Name and Email fields to send the form. I would really appreciate some really simple validation that would work with what I have. I honestly have no idea how I got this far. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
