Form Field Validation Alerts

[Guest]

I had required validation on some fields in a form. When someone clicks the
sumbit button and any of the validations fail, I would like to see the alert
box pop up and tell the visitor to fix it. Now it takes me to a new page with
the following message (which I don't want it to do):

Form Validation Error
Please correct the information you provided by following these steps, then
submit the information again:

Please enter at least 1 characters in the "Example" field.

Return to the form.

That behavior is only possible when JavaScript is enabled. Otherwise, you
are redirected to a new page.

That depends on your browser. For example, see

I checked my settings according to the link you gave, and Active Scripting
was already set to Enable.

What else can I do to fix this?

Thanks,

You can give the URL of your site away so that we can try to reproduce
the problem.
