location validation

I want to try to ensure that a person registering on a service lives in a certain city. What has occurred to me is that the city, zip and land phone area code match. If they dont, the registration is rejected. The site is built with FrontPage 2003. I cannot find this kind of validation in the dialog boxes provided by Front Page. How do I go about it?

RE: location validation (in reply to Jose)

You have also asked this question in another front page forum but you have not provided enough information. What are you comparing the form data to? A database? Another form field? You have to "match" the data to something....

You re[plied on another forum that you weren't comfortable with databases and were looking for Front Page solution.
I cannot think of a good way to do this without using some sort of data source.

I've created an AJAX page that uses an Excel spreadsheet as the data source to check a form field against a list of available "usernames".
It's copy/paste type of code but you need to on a server that parses ASP (microsoft server).

Here is the link to a "live validation" example that will also do what you want:
