From the developer
Mrinal Roy's own description of Instant Comment Validation, lightly tidied.
WordPress deafult comment error page sucks? Its just showing an error message like “please fill out required fields” and nothing else? Trying to get rid out of this & keep users in that page. Then “Instant Comment Validation” is for you. This plugin adds validation to the comment form. When a user submits the form and something is missing, an appropiate message is displayed and individual fields are highlighted.
That’s it, no configuration needed, just install & enjoy!
