Solution 1

This would require developing a custom form for the list or creating custom field controls

Hello Mark,

I found that PreSaveItem in javascript fires before the save button function is called. Can this be used to perform the validation?

However, I am unable to get this thing work.

SharePoint uses PreSaveItem internally to wireup PreSaveAction function. This code can be found in Form.js in Layouts folder.

function PreSaveItem()
{
ULSopi:;
alert('Inside PreSaveItem');
debugger;
if("function"==typeof PreSaveAction)
return PreSaveAction();
return true
}

So need to write the code in PreSaveAction method.

Thanks for the help/

All well and good but this will modify the functionality for EVERY edit form used for EVERY list on EVERY site in the SharePoint Farm
