Furthermore...The solution I mentioned in my previous post does not
quite work the way I'd hoped. It allows single words (ie. test123),
but if you put spaces in the field (ie. test 123) it doesn't work,
since it is no longer just letters and numbers. I tried removing the
rule, but it throws a preg_match error.
My questions is simple. How do I so a simple required field
validation?
Thanks for any help.
