Forms/CGI question

[Christopher Adams]

I am writing a CGI script that will allow users to submit information 
through a web page. I want to require that certain text fields be filled 
out. From what I gather, there are no form tags that will do this. One 
example I saw used "hidden" field tags and processed the script using a 
second script, but I don't really understand how it works. Any ideas? 
Please cc to me and mail to the list, as I am on the digest. Thanks.
