Well, I know you will need the pattern and the required attribute.

You also have to update the javascript to include form validation. Something like what is discussed in the SO answer as basic but should be enough:

Off the top of my head, maybe this would work:

$('#cn-cat-select').submit(function() {
    if ( $.trim($("#cnmcs-address-input").val()) === "" ) {
        alert('You did not fill out the postcode field.');
        return false;
    }
});

Hope this helps!

RE: But I think everything is ingmored if you press Enter instead of Submit.
Why is that?

The javascript should prevent even the entry key as the form can not be submitted unless the if statements becomes true.

If you find that is not the case, then perhaps adding prevent default will help???

$('#cn-cat-select').submit(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    if ( $.trim($("#cnmcs-address-input").val()) === "" ) {
        alert('You did not fill out the postcode field.');
        return false;
    }
});

RE: I really don’t know where to put this.

Put the code on line 326 right before })( jQuery ); in the cn-multi-category-select.js file.

RE: where do I put my validation

Sorry, don’t know.

RE: Is it possible to pinpoint the connections on a map?

Yes, all the premium templates support displaying the entry on a map.

Sorry, no, this is not yet a feature in Connections.
