This seems like something custom to your theme. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/blank-email-validation-message#post-66884 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:07:54 +0000 David Peralty 66884@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ah, I understand now. The malformed e-mail address is using JQuery to test to see if it is valid or not. You would have to come up with custom JS to test to see if blank. </p> <p>Something like this:<br /> <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1854556/how-to-check-if-inputs-are-empty-with-jquery" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1854556/how-to-check-if-inputs-are-empty-with-jquery</a></p> <p>My JQuery knowledge is fairly limited, so I am not sure how we have ours currently set-up to show the malformed warning. I'll check into that for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/blank-email-validation-message#post-66878 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:44:12 +0000 ghalleb 66878@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The malformed e-mail address validation stop the form in a more proper way for what I need.<br /> Just a matter of taste....</p> <p>Please take a look at my website: <a href="http://www.wisedome.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wisedome.org/</a> make the 2 tests (blank and malformed), I think you'll understand why I prefer the email validation against global validation message! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/blank-email-validation-message#post-66874 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:38:31 +0000 David Peralty 66874@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you give me more information on what you want to do? Why isn't making it required a good way to allow you to have a validation message for the e-mail field? The malformed e-mail address stops the form from submitting as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/blank-email-validation-message#post-66869 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:24:29 +0000 ghalleb 66869@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm happy with the validation message for email field when the email is misformed.<br /> But is there a way to print the same message when the email is blank (without setting it to required because it will make the form failed but without the same message under the field)</p> <p>Cheers </p>
