Custom Form Validation Failure Page in FP2003

Guest

I've got a page containing a form with a number of fields that have
validation rules defined. When validation is performed on the server, a
default Form Validation Error page is displayed listing all errors, with a
"Return to the form" link at the bottom. While clicking this link (a simple
<href>) does indeed return to the form, all of the user's input is lost.
Returning to the form, however, by clicking the browser's Back button
preserves the user's input. I would thus like to develop my own
validation-failure page without the deadly link. Form
Properties>Options>Confirmation Page provides the option to specify the URL
of a custom validation failure page, confirming that this should be
possible.

I've developed my own confirmation page using Insert>Web Component>Advanced
Controls>Confirmation Field, but I can't figure out how to build a failure
page -- how do I know which fields failed validation? Looking at the source
of the default page is not helpful; except for the link described above,
it's all just text.

FrontPage Help did not prove helpful either, nor did a Google search.

Thanks in advance for any help.
