 * Hello,
 * I have been testing out the form and when I purposely don’t fill in a field to
   get the validation error, I can’t correct my information in the form. Where the
   red type appears that says “Please fill the required field” I do what most people
   would and go to that box and try to start filling in the correct answer. What
   happens is the whole screen flashes and I end up on another page within my website.

 * Same Problem here…
    No flashing, but no chance to insert a text after the validation
   error. Red text does not disappear.
