I have a form and I am using JavaScript to validate the form, so if we leave a field blank it will alert "Please Enter your Name".
If I go to the link directly, it works perfectly. But I am using an iFrame to embed it into other sites. When I embed it, and click Submit with an empty field it says:
The page at says: Please Enter your name
