If I have a form with data displayed, and I do not do anything and just hit the submit button, is there a way to determine that nothing was done and display a message indicating there was no activity ?

    You can check some input fields, such as text boxes for values. Other input fields, such as check boxes can be checked for their existence.

    If you are prepopulating some inputs, you can compare the submitted value to the one you put there.

    My form is in edit mode, thus it displays checkboxes and radio buttons that are already checked, and input fields that are already filled out and displayed. So I cannot check for the existence of radio and checkboxes since they already exists.

    If nothing is done to the form and the submit button is clicked, then I want to display a message.

    How do I determine if the form was changed or not, after submiting ?
