Hi .
You need to use client side scripting(javascript) for this
example
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validateForm(){
if (( document.testForm.txt1.value=="") ||(
document.testForm.txt2.value=="") || (document.testForm.txt3.value=="") ){
alert("please enter all values to continue");
return false;
}
else {
document.testForm.submit();
return true;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="testForm" action="nextServlet" >
<input type="text" name="txt1" ><br>
<input type="text" name="txt2" ><br>
<input type="text" name="txt3" ><br>
<input type="submit" name="bttn" value="test" onClick="return
validateForm()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
