FreeHand: building reqired fields in forms for a website

Question

Hi I was woundering if anyone has a little experiance in making a form's fields required?
Such as one of my forms like this one http://www.jobsandcareers.org/advertising_executive_jobs_id353.html which is tripod based and hosted.
I'm a bit of a novice, and creating reqired fields in my forms has me a bit stumped, althoungh I can handle some basic coding, like my free hand international job search engine :: http://www.jobsmanager.org/ which I'm alway's interested in hearing feedback about, or link partners.
Thanks for your time, and any help, and tips on creating reqired feilds in my forms as listed above would be greatly apreciated.

If you have one of the chars Territory or Sales officer in your datasource you could create the relationship by adding the other as nav attr to it. If you have sales officer coming from your DS, add Territory IO as nav attr on Sales officer IO. I assume there would be only one Sales officer per Territory. Otherwise this would not work.
Now you would have 2 hier, one on Territory and the other on Sales officer maintained. Add Sales officer IO in the query and enable hier on it. Add SalesOfficer_Territory nav attr and enable hier on it. The relationship now is taken care by the master data maintained for Sales officer (nav attr Territory on it). In the query data at the territory level would automatically be aggregated to the Area and other levels above based on the hierarchy.
You really need both the hier? I think you can enable hier on Sales officer (if this is what comes from the DS) in the query. Add Territory nav attr (no hier on it).
