Form Validation using Dreamweaver

Question: How can I validate information like email addresses in web forms using Dreamweaver?

The IT Guy says:
One of the most straightforward ways to do this with Dreamweaver web authoring software is to use a "behavior." Click on the submit button on the web page containing the form, and in the behaviors window (select Window - Behaviors to display it), click on the plus sign to display available options. Select Validate Form. Click on the available fields to require entry, and choose to require the entered values be either text, numeric values, or in email format. This method will not check to see if the submitted email address is a working address, but it will check for proper syntax (username@host.com). You can download more advanced web form validation tools from the Macromedia Exchange website for Dreamweaver.
