   Can I set a field as invalid through javascript?
   
   I have a function to determine if a field is true or false and can display a message but this still allows the field to be submitted.

   Hi Geoff,
   
   You need to set your function to return true or false based on validation result. Then, call your function on the "OnClientClick" event of submit button. To locate the OnClientClick event for your form "Submit" button goto;
   
   "Submit button"-->"Edit"-->"Advanced"-->"OnClientClick"--> call your Javascript function using condition so that if it returns true then, the form will submit otherwise, the user will be prompted message and will stay on the same form.
   
   Example of sample function call to put under OnClickClieckEvent box;    
   

   if(!​YourJavaScript​Functioname()==false)

   Is this available on the Multi-Form Step Buttons? I can't see a OnClientClick field in advanced options for Multi-Form Step Buttons.

   Hi Geoff,
   
   Inside the Advanced property of multi step button, you need to click on sub property called "btnNext", and then you will be able to see "OnClientClick" option.
   
   I have emailed you a screenshot to locate "btnNext" under multi step button advanced properties.
   
   Thanks
