Validate form in ASP

Hey everyone,

I have recently discovered that some users cannot see javascript.The form
currently uses the Yaromat Check Form behavior in DWMX.
I have been told I need to validate the form in the asp code. I am not at all
an expert in asp so any help would be great. Thanks.

Here's the code...
<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<%

strBody1 = "First Name: " & Request.Form("firstname") & vbNewLine & "Last
Name: " & Request.Form("lastname") & vbNewLine & "Mailing Address: " &
Request.Form("address") & vbNewLine & "City, State, Zip: " &
Request.Form("city") & vbNewLine & "Phone Number: " & Request.Form("phone") &
vbNewLine & "Email: " & Request.Form("email")
'prepare email to send
Set theMail = server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
theMail.From = "info@bestdjs.info"
theMail.To = "info@bestdjs.info"
theMail.Subject = "Request to Joing Mailing List From Website"
theMail.BodyFormat = 1
theMail.Importance = 2
theMail.Body = strBody1
theMail.Send
Set theMail = Nothing

%>

<body bgcolor="9900AA">
<P align=center> </P>
<P align=center><FONT color="#FFFFFF" size="3" face=Trebuchet MS><strong><font
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thank

</body>

Thanks Joe! I think I need to show you the code for the form itself, don't I?
That's where the validation would come in right?
The code I sent previously was from the formail.asp. Sorry, I wish I would
have gone to school fro this. Self-taught isn't always the best way to go.
Here's the form code:

<form action=http://www.bestdjs.info/Forms/formmail_mailinglist.asp
method=post
name=NexGen
onSubmit="MM_validateForm('firstname','','R','lastname','','R','email','','RisEm
ail');return document.MM_returnValue">

Nope; the code I gave you would go in the script where you process the
form. The basic outline of it is:

// Do validation here
If (stuff is missing) {
// Give an error message }
Else {
// Process the information and send the email }
