Is there some way of making the Contribution form validation stricter. Right now the name, address fields etc can be filled with one number without generating an error message.

For example:

First Name:
3
Middle Initial:
3
Last Name:
3
Address:
3
City:
3
Postal Code:
3

you can use the validation hook

Thanks for you reply.

Does that mean the validation is not done through the jquery javascript or am I totally on the wrong track here.

correct. there are a few places where javascript is used (for example to test if a contact already exists based on first name, last name, etc.before adding one) but on the whole it is done on submission with a validate function

hence this hook that you can use for most if not all form submissions
