Form Focus on Errors

  1. How do you keep a form in focus upon submit if there are errors? Right now the flow is:

    user enters data
    user hits submit
    form goes away (no clue to user if errors present)
    user has to envoke form again to see if there are data entry errors
    this process repeats until clean of errors

    What I want is:

    user enters data
    user hits submit
    form stays in focus, does not go away
    error appear in red
    user fixes errors
    user hits submit
    form stays in focus, shows errors, etc.
    until clean of errors

    So... how do I accomplish this?

    Using most current version, AJAX is enabled.
    URL is: storygeeks.com/WPTest/book-evaluation/ (this is a typical product and form)

    click on "Calculate Order" and you'll see how it proceeds...

    Thanx!!!!

  3. Hmm, AJAX should solve for this. I did notice you have a few JS errors on the page, one of these could be potentially interfering:
