There's 2 ways that I've been using:
1. after submitting the form, send to a page that does the validation
if valid: redirect to the right page
if not: display what data was incorrect and have a link that says
"go back and correct the form"
2.
after submitting the form, send to a page that does the validation:
if valid: redirect to the right page
if not: return to the form with additional parameters.
For instance, if the first name and last name field was black,
The link redirection back to the form would be
http://yourhost/FormOne?blankfields="Firstname,Lastname"
The form would be displayed with some kind of marker next to it to immediately
point the user to the field that needs correction.
This gets a little complex, but it works great and it's very user friendly.
