I have a simple log in screen that is a sticky form . I am trying to get the log in boxes to turn red when the form is submitted but the input field is left blank. I am getting some really strange behaviour where two of the fields do this correctly and others seem to be random.The photo on the left below shows what happens after the page loads and submit is hit. The second photo on the right shows the 'random' behaviour after I enter some details- hit submit, and then go back and delete these details and resubmit again. All the data is stored in php global variables i.e. not from database at present.
