Is it possible to make fields in the Subscription Box mandatory (or required)?

By default, the only required information that must be supplied to the Subscribe Box is an email address. If necessary, you can make additional fields in the subscribe box required. This will require some manual changes to the HTML.

To make a particular input field required, add a corresponding hidden field to the form. This can be done by editing the source code of the subscribe box HTML through the online HTML editor (click the Edit Mode button on the lower right) or by adding it to the generated HTML produced by the View Current Source button. This hidden field uses the following syntax:

<input type="hidden" name="[fieldname]_required" value="[Error Message]">

The [fieldname] is the name of the input field to which this field corresponds. It is followed by the text '_required'. The value parameter of this field is [Error Message]. This is the text that should appear if the [fieldname] input field is empty.

Another way to do this would be to use some Javascript in the HTML. This requires knowledge of Javascript and would provide the mostflexibility but is unfortunately beyond our product scope.
