Googlebot submitting forms & skipping validation

Hi Everyone,

I have an odd issue. I have a simple form set up (Name,phone, email, message) with a few of them requiring text before they can submit the form. I've tested this several time myself and I can't submit the form without entering in text in those fields. However, my client is getting blank forms somehow? I do track IP's and when I did a reverse lookup, I found out that it was a googlebot IP. Some how google can complete it and click the send button. Any ideas how to stop this? The form is within a text page, so I can not "no-index" the page with the form.

Thanks.

Bots don't receive the js validation, this is only for browsers, you will need an extra security method, the honeypot check, or captcha or a server side validation!

ah ok, I'll give that a go. Thanks

I am seeing the same problem on one of my sites. We keep getting blank from submissions when Google spiders the site. Have you found a way to prevent this?

Example of how to trigger this problem:
