Php and Jquery Validation: with Jquery Form Plugin
- by Jacinto
Hi, This is the first time I have attempted to make a form using jquery and php. I used the folks over at Mid Mo Design as an example but even with that tutorial am still having trouble getting it to do what I want. This is the code I have been using. As well as jquery 1.4.1 and jQuery Form Plugin 2.43. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
css
scrollContact {
border-top: double 1px #0D0D0D;
padding: 100px 50px 50px 50px;
background: #020303;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 924px;
text-align: justify;
}
.contactInfo {
float:left;
width: 214px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
contactForm {
float: left;
width: 700px;
}
contactForm span {
float: left;
margin:5px;
width: 455px;
}
input, textarea {
-moz-border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px;
border:1px solid #001932;
color:#BBBBBB;

background: #0A0A0A;
}
input:hover, textarea:hover {
border:1px solid #0278f2;

}
contactForm span input {
line-height:1.8em;

contactForm input {

}
contactForm textarea {
