Hi all,
As i spend a bit of time today getting this figured out I thought i'd post the SOLUTION here on this form. The code posted below will provide basic validation rules for Email and Phone number fields before leads are submitting a form, so that leads are synced to salesforce without a problem. So for those interested please continue reading.
On your landing page that contains the form, drag a custom HTML element onto the landing page and add the following code snippet. Please not that you may need to change the field names e.g. #Email and #Phone.
I hope this is useful and save a bunch of time for someone.
