 * When the user submits it validates the form and can say “please fill in required
   fields”. But it does no highlight which required field they left empty.
 * Is it possible to highlight the empty required fields?

 * Not sure what might be happening. If you have a link where I can take a look?
   Or if you prefer not to share publicly, here is my [contact form](https://perishablepress.com/contact/),
   either way is fine.
