Is there a way to perform validation for apex:inputField?

I am creating a form in Visualforce. Since my form is a bit long, it is hard for users to remember the error message at the top and revise it. On top of the error message, I want to create a validation when users typing in their information.
For example, there are 2 field, users name and email. Users cannot leave the name field blank, if so, I want to show a message of "This field is required to fill in" beside the field. And for email field, I want to have another message to remind users to insert a valid email.
Is there anyway in visualforce to do so? Thanks for your help.

Hello Alex,

You can add something like this:
1. Check the Empty
<apex:page id="page">
    
    <script>
    function show()
    {
        var name=document.getElementById('page:f1:p1:ip1').value;
        if(name== "" || name==null)
        {
            document.getElementById("page:f1:p1:op2").innerHTML = "Please enter your name"; 
        }
    }
    </script>
    
    <apex:form id="f1">
        <apex:pageblock id="p1">
            <apex:outputlabel value="Enter u r name" id="op1" />
            <apex:inputtext id="ip1" />
            <apex:commandbutton value="submit" onclick="return show();" reRender="op2"/>
            <apex:outputlabel id="op2" />
        </apex:pageblock>
    </apex:form>
    
</apex:page>

---> Besides salesforce has the on field validation, so u can have that option.

2. create formula syntax 
Regression : '([a-zA-Z0-9_\\-\\.]+)@(((\\[a-z]{1,3}\\.[a-z]{1,3}\\.[a-z]{1,3}\\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\\-]+\\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3}))'


Thanks

Hello Alex.

You can have a Javascript to check the require field & for proper email format you can use regression expression.

Assignment ghostwriting https://www.lunwenhelp.com/assignment-daixie/ is a pervasive issue in education that challenges the core values of academic integrity and learning. While it may offer a temporary solution for students facing academic challenges, it ultimately deprives them of the educational experience and skills development that is crucial for their future success. Addressing this issue requires a joint effort from educational institutions, faculty, students, and policymakers to maintain the integrity of the education system and ensure that learning remains the primary focus of academia.
