freeform: want to redirect to different error page
Development and Programming
Is there a way to redirect the user to a different error page or perhaps just give them a red dot next to a field that is incorrect? The current error page is a not so nice looking. I’m not sure if this is a freeform issue or an EE one, but I’ve posted on the FF forum and didn’t hear anything, so I thought I’d ask around here.
You could always use some Javascript validation such as the fantastic Live Validation javascript which won’t even allow the form to submit if there are errors and will show the fields that have errors directly on the form. That might help a bit maybe?
Admitted if people turn off javascript then you are going to want server-side validation to kick in as you shouldn’t really ever 100% rely on javascript but nowadays most people don’t turn off javascript anyway so might be a nice place to start.
Best wishes,

Mark,
That looks like an excellent solution. I’m wondering what you use with expression engine for creating forms. Do you use freeform or have a better solution? I’d still like to know if there is an easy way to change that existing error page if I don’t want to add javascript.
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to validate whether there is already a similar value in a freeform entry using this js/method ?
