I appreciate that, but when a field fails validation, FP sends an error page
listing the field(s) that failed validation and why. According to the Form
Option/Confirmation Page option, you can enter a custom error page "page
displayed when the user's input fails the validation scripts. A default page
is provided.". What I'm trying to do is provide a custom error page using
the site's them, so that instead of a blank white page with the error
message, the user gets something more professional looking. However, I can't
find the default error page to copy the webbot, or whatever, into my custom
page so that it lists the field(s) that failed validation. It shows the
error page, no problem - but it's no use unless the user knows what fields
failed.
