//RequiredVerify.js





/*


This file checks that all required fields are completed in a form.





place onSubmit="return submitForm('form_name');" in your form header


be sure to pass the form name





also place a hidden input whose value is a list of all the required fields in your table,


named requiredFields





note: if you have two fields with similar names (ie: Title, and JobTitle) - 


if Title is set to be required - JobTitle will also be flagged as required.  


Therefore, use more descriptive naming.





No Spaces in your list - if you put in spaces it will not work!!


ex: <input type="hidden" name="requiredFields" value="LastName,FirstName">
