A common method to solve this problem is to validate the sign-up fields via javascript before the form is submitted.

You can use javascript/jQuery to interrupt the submit process, check the value of each field, and - if one or more fields fails validation - return false to return control back to the user in order to fix the problems and try again.

Here are some code examples and demos:

To interrupt the submit, you just use:

$('#id_of_your_form').submit(function(){
    let var_valid = true; //any variable name will do...
    //
    //validation code goes here - see next demo below
    //
    if (!var_valid) return false;
    //if the code gets here, it will continue submitting
});

Here is an example of how to do basic field validation.
