How are you validating? Can you give more examples of the code you are using?

<html:text styleClass="text" property="firstInput" />

<html:text styleClass="text" property="secondInput" />

<html:submit styleClass="searchbutton" value="Start" />

</html:form>

<br/>

<html:errors property="firstInput"/><br/>

<html:errors property="secondInput"/>
