Do you want to validate the text fields on pressing the Submit button, or when the user does a Save?

For the submit, use a JavaScript action to do the submission. Include code that validates the fields and then calls "submitForm" if the validation passes.

For a save, there is an event called "WillSave". You can enter a script into the event from the "Advanced-Document Processing->Document Actions" menu item. A save cannot be blocked. However, the "WillSave" code can display a warning message.Thom Parker
