Answer

Hi Sergei, this is currently not possible for TWikiForms.

If you have a form embedded in a TWiki topic then you can use JavaScript logic to do that. For example, intercept the button pressed event like <input type="submit" onClick="checkFormFields();" />, and do the check in the function. The function can return false to cancel the action. Any JavaScript book can give you more details. Note that this will not work for browsers with disabled JavaScript.
