A value is required

I am using the Contact Forum solution pack for the first time. Uploading the files as is, without changing them at all, the validations won't work as intended.

All fields default to "A value is required" instead of putting in the customized text, ie Please provide your email addess so we can get back in touch with you.

any help is appreciate.

It appears the spry validation messages were reset. You can easily update them to whatever you want in the code. Just find the value on the page and update it. If you have CS3 or CS4 you can use the property inspector to manipulate the spry validations entirely.

Hi Ray, This is the code from the page.... the validation messages are there, they just aren't being shown on the page.

<form action="" method="post" name="emailContact" id="emailContact" onsubmit="">

Those are the server validation messages. The spry messages appear:

<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span>

if you submit the page it will show the server messages.

thanks Ray,

I'll change them. Any reason why this solution ships with the incorrect code?

It may be an oversight. We switched from using Validation Toolkit to Spry validation in a recent release. It appears the error messages must not have been updated properly. I will report it as a bug.

Another potential bug is that I am using the Contact Form Solution, out of the box, and yet, in the server behaviors, the WA Server Validations and all of the Validation Show If (contact.php) are not editable. Trying to modify them in anyway brings up the error "Please select a form page with WA Server Validation applied".

I have the latest version of WA Validation Toolkt btw.

At this point, I can't edit the thing without handcoding everything, and even at that, it's really easy to break it. Not a good value for the money at this point, imo

You should be able to edit them. If you change the page name you may need to specify it again, but it should all work for editing. If you continue to have problems please post a support incident this will allow someone to look into it further with you directly to find the cause and solution.
