Issue submitting a form
I have a form that basically has 2 fieldsets in it, and i've used some jQuer so that you fill out the first fieldset, and then click the "Next" button, which then slides in the 2nd fieldset and you fill that info out and click submit. If I just try to click submit without filling in any fields, it does not give me any error messages, but refreshes the page with a query string in the URL. I'm using almost the same code on other pages of the site that only have 1 fieldset and they display errors just fine.
What could be causing the query string to appear in the url and no error messages to be displayed? I'm thinking it has to do with my Validator, but not exactly sure.
