Default value in a simple form breaks validation

Hi,
i have created a simple contact form with label hide and default values as the labels.
When i have this customization the validation works only in the email field although the other two fields that i have are required.When i don't have a default value the validation works fine for every text box.I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi dikostaras,

Well, yes, if you add a default value the input is not longer empty and a 'required' validation will no longer work. The validation code needs to remove or ignore the default values.

What code are you using?

Thanks for your reply,
i am using chronoforms 4.0 RC3.5.2,in a joomla 2.5.6.
The html code is

<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="input_text_11_container_div" style=""><label style="display:none;">Enter Your Name</label><input maxlength="150" size="30" class="swaptextbox validate['required']" title="" type="text" value="Enter Your Name" name="input_text_1" />
<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_text_1"></div></div><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="input_text_21_container_div" style=""><label style="display:none;">Your Email Address</label><input maxlength="150" size="30" class="swaptextbox validate['required','email']" title="" type="text" value="Your Email Address" name="input_text_2" />
<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_text_2"></div></div><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_textarea" id="input_textarea_31_container_div" style=""><label style="display:none;">Your Message</label><textarea cols="45" rows="12" class="swaptextbox validate['required']" title="" name="input_textarea_3">Your Message</textarea>
<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_textarea_3"></div></div><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_submit" id="input_submit_41_container_div" style="text-align:left"><input name="input_submit_4" class="btn" value="Submit" type="submit" />
<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_submit_4"></div></div>  

I have done any modification or add any custom code.

Hi dikostaras,

As I said before, if you set values then they must be removed when the validation runs.
