Show error message on apex:inputText field

I have a set of apex:inputText fields. I am trying to validate mandatory fields and display error messages next to fields. The code I have is:
  
<apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="MSAFTController" showHeader="false" standardStylesheets="true">
    
    <apex:includeScript id="script2" value="{!URLFOR($Resource.ChargentCases__CreditCardJS, 'bililiteRange.js')}" loadOnReady="false"/>
    <meta http-equiv="X-Frame-Options" content="deny" />
    <script>
        if( self == top ) {
            document.documentElement.style.display = 'block' ;
        } else {
            top.location = self.location ;
        }
    </script>

    <!--<apex:pageMessages id="msgs"/>-->

}

Currently I am trying this only for Applicatnt's EA ID field but when I click on Submit nothing happens. The debug statements in charge() are not called and nor is any error displayed. Am I missing anything here?

Thanks,
Vandana

Thanks James, I had already tried this and sending parameter from Command Button. I seemed to be stuck. Currently I have resolved the issue using Javascript validations.

Please try using <Apex:pagemessage> to display the error. Also use a IF CLAUSE to check if there if the field contains any value.

Thanks for your reply Jakson. I want to display error messages along with the fields not on top of the page.

Vandana,

Either you can update your apex:inputText elements to utilize apex:inputField elements instead, or you could utilize the apex:message element inline with your inputText elements as pointed out in this post: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F000000096SiIAI
