  MESSAGE:  (#2021) Validation - no errors displayed to the form user

Hi, thanks for the great software. I will be planning to purchase the 
registration as soon as I'm no longer broke (just started a new job). 

I am having on small problem in setting it up. I had my form processing 
perfectly, until I started trying to do validations on it. From trying to 
leave various parts of the form unfilled, it's obvious that it's validating 
properly, but the problem is that I'm not getting the Phorm Messages to 
display, so the user of the form can know what they need to fix. 

I have tried both embedding the messages in an HTML file (a separate one, and 
re-using the original form file, like you note in the docs), as well as 
leaving the FILES list blank, and having Phorm take care of it. In every case, 
the submission redirected to the propper error page, only there was no error 
displayed. In the case of the default error page, all that was seen was a 
white page with "Phorm 3.0.4" at the bottom. 

If the form passes validation, it still sends properly via email, and 
redirects to the confirmation page with {{variables}} replaced properly. The 
only problem is that I'm not getting any error messages. And I did try turning 
on debug messages for 41, 411 and 412. 41 only seemed to show the full text of 
the valdefs file, and 411 and 412 didn't output any error messages. 

Any ideas? I will also post this to the forum. 

Thanks for your time, 
Mark
