You’ve just filled out 20 form fields, yet you get the same bloated page thrown back in your face because a single field failed to validate. I clearly recall the often loud sighs of despair during our last usability study each time a form error messages test subject encountered a validation error page. We also noticed that test subjects who had been exposed to validation errors began to take preventive actions to avoid them in subsequent steps, by writing things such as “N/A” in the “Company name” field if in doubt about whether the field was optional. 1 When getting the exact same page but with an error message, the user will feel they have made little or no progress, despite having typed 90% of the form fields correctly. (Image: Blue Nile2) Some of the frustration with validation error pages likely stems from the user being returned to the same page they came from. Being returned to the exact same page is problematic for a couple of reasons: With all form fields still displayed (valid or not), the user might have difficulty identifying the few erroneous fields among the many valid ones. More critically, seeing the same page twice makes it seem like the user has made no progress, despite having just filled in numerous form fields correctly. At Baymard Institute, we reflected on this problem and got an idea that we call “error fields only” — wh
