fp form validation:

I've used fp form validation on a couple of instances and can't seem to
understand why it does this:
sometimes if a form isn't filled out correctly it throws a little pop-up
warning window (which I like)
other forms throw to a page describing the error and provide a link back to
the from (which I don't like).
why do I get disparate results when as far as I know I'm doing the same
thing?
TIA
 
Provide a URL of the case that doesn't validate w/ the popup

PS In your browser use View Source to see the JavaScript generated for validation

You don't have any validation applied to any of the fields in the form

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" background="images/bg0002.gif">
<div align="center"> <center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="500"
id="AutoNumber1">
<tr><td width="100%">
<form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/help.htm" onSubmit="" language="JavaScript" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

| the one here:
| http://nedp.net/newh/help.htm doesn't throw the pop-up.
|
| http://g-sports.com/secure/contact.htm does throw the pop-up.

sorry,
when I couldn't figure it out I removed the validation so that the worst
that could happen was they'd get the confirmation page w/o some fields.
thanks anyway. I'll have to look into the original question at a later
date. It's always struck me as odd how some forms will throw the pop-up and
others go to a whole other page to describe the failure.
