 * I test the form and purposely leave required fields blank. After submitting I
   get the proper error message, but red bordered boxes display slightly below and
   to the right of the required fields. When you hover over them they dissapear.
   How can I make them over lay directly over the respected fields since that is
   most likely where they are supposed to display. Any help is appreciated.
 * Thx.
