Is there a way to make a text box a required item to be filled out?

Ray,
Is there a way for me to make a text box "required" before the end user selects the "Add to Cart" button? https://www.lotcs.org/life_membership.php. I would like to have all of the text boxes to be required on this page so that the end user's application can be complete when submitted. Thanks in advance for your help!
All the best,
Dale

Just add the word "required" to the input box. <input type="text" required ... >

Hey Ray,
The code that you told me to input isn't working for me. I must be missing something, eh? Here's what I input:

<input type="text" required name="eCart1_5_Name_Add" value="First and Last Name" />
<input type="text" required name="eCart1_5_Grand_Add" value="Grand" />
<input type="text" required name="eCart1_5_PupTentName_Add" value="Pup Tent Name" />
<input type="text" required name="eCart1_5_Description_Add" value="VFW LM Number" />
<input type="text" required name="eCart1_5_Title_Add" value="Date of Birth" />
<input type="text" required name="eCart1_5_CootieNumber_Add" value="Annual Card Number" />

I also tried it this way by checking the "Required" box in my "Properties" panel and it changed to this:

<input name="eCart1_5_Name_Add" type="text" required="required" value="First and Last Name" />
<input name="eCart1_5_Grand_Add" type="text" required="required" value="Grand" />
<input name="eCart1_5_PupTentName_Add" type="text" required="required" value="Pup Tent Name" />
<input name="eCart1_5_Description_Add" type="text" required="required" value="VFW LM Number" />
<input name="eCart1_5_Title_Add" type="text" required="required" value="Date of Birth" />
<input name="eCart1_5_CootieNumber_Add" type="text" required="required" value="Annual Card Number" />

The "Add to Cart" button still lets me go to the checkout page. Thanks again for your help Brother!
All the best,
Dale

What is the page that you are working on?

You have default values set, so they wouldn't have to change them to satisfy the required validation. Maybe try this:

<input name="eCart1_5_Name_Add" type="text" required="required" placeholder="First and Last Name" />
<input name="eCart1_5_Grand_Add" type="text" required="required" placeholder="Grand" />
<input name="eCart1_5_PupTentName_Add" type="text" required="required" placeholder="Pup Tent Name" />
<input name="eCart1_5_Description_Add" type="text" required="required" placeholder="VFW LM Number" />
<input name="eCart1_5_Title_Add" type="text" required="required" placeholder="Date of Birth" />
<input name="eCart1_5_CootieNumber_Add" type="text" required="required" placeholder="Annual Card Number" />
