use javascript if you want...
<script language="javascript">
function checkForm(theForm){
theVal = theForm.zip.value.parseInt();
if( theVal.length() >= 3 && theVal.length() <= 5 )
return true;
alert("You must enter whatever");
return false;
}
</script>
<form ..... onsubmit="return checkForm(this);">
<input type="text" name="zip"....

Subject: counting min chars in form field
How do you count chars in a form field. I have a zip code field that is used
for a search. I want to allow them to key in 3-5 digits of a zip code. I've
got max to make the 5 happen, but how do I check to make sure that they
keyed at least 3?
