The generic answer is that there are at least two ways to do what you're attempting. One is to use JavaScript to check that all fields that you require are filled in and not let the page proceed until that requirement is met.

I think there are two ways you are required to do it in that case. Client-side stuff is great for user experience and helping to keep load off the server but it's completely useless for validating things in the end because they can be sent by a hacker or "broken" browser anyway. Verify and block bad submissions in the client if you can but remember you should do the same thing on the server side either way.
