validate text in field - eform??

Hi all.
How does one go about setting eform up that it will not submit before all the fields are filled in?
I can’t find any documentation on this at all.

Any help would be good
thanks all

Each required field needs the "required" section of the eform pseudo-attribute set to 1.
From the documentation that comes with eform:

Datatypes and formatting

eForm is incorporating a form parser which extracts formatting and validation options from each form field. To set options for a field add the eform(pseudo) attribute to each required form field.

<input type="text" name="color" eform="A Color:string:1" />

The basic format of the eform attribute is:

[description/title]:[datatype]:[required]:[validation message]:[validation rule]

And further on, some examples:

1. Selectbox - set as required field (no validation required)
<select name="mySelect" eform="Select Country::1" /> (datatype left blank)
<option value="en-au">Australia</option>
<option value="en-us">USA</option>
</select>

2. Textbox - required and format set to date
<input type="text" name="dobDate" eform="Date of Birth:date:1:@EVAL return (strtotime($value)!==-1)?true:false;" />

3. Multiple checkbox - required, eform only set once.
<input type="checkbox" name="myColors[]" value="Red" eform="Colors::1" /> (datatype left blank)
<input type="checkbox" name="myColors[]" value="Green" /> (datatype left blank)

Yeah, I think it’s just one of those things that are presumed to be obvious, which of course it is - if you know about it! Like telling somebody how to drive a car "step on the gas to go, and the brake to stop". Um... what’s the "gas" and what’s the "brake", and this car has three pedals
