# Field Validation Error, Email

 * Email field does not repopulate correctly after another field does not meet validation
   requirements.
 * =================================================
 * I have the default contact form that I have added a text field to for phone number.
 * Fields: Company Name, Name, Email, Phone, Message, ReCaptcha
 * When I fill out all of the fields except the phone (required), I get the error
   displaying properly.
 * The ERROR happens on the Email field. What is displayed to the visitor inside
   the field is not the previous entry, but `<span id=` and then after the field
   gets displayed `" data-reqmsg="This field cannot be blank." data-invmsg="Please
   enter a valid email address" />` . This following text that is outside of the
   field is not in the error class color, it displays as regular text.
 * Any ideas?

 * It looks like the HTML for this form has been modified, or there is other invalid
   HTML on the page. I would recommend creating a ticket in our help desk for additional
   assistance with this issue:

   Also, just a heads up, our support is limited to helping with bugs if you don’t
   have a current Pro license.
 * Hint: It may be helpful for you to reset the HTML for your fields:

 * Just created a form from scratch because the customize html data looked great.
   The replacement form also errors the same.

 * Thanks for letting me know. Do you have the same problem with all other plugins
   deactivated and the 2017 theme activated on your site?
