 * Hello,
 * I noticed that “Fast Secure Contact Form” adds the following lines to the HTML
   code of my contact page:
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript' src='.../wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.10.2'></script>
       <script type='text/javascript' src='.../wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1'></script>
       <script type='text/javascript' src='.../wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js?ver=1.10.3'></script>
       <script type='text/javascript' src='.../wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/includes/fscf-scripts.js?ver=150'></script>
       ```
   
 * But I doubt that they are really needed for basic use. If I disable JavaScript
   in Firefox, I can still send messages, which leads me to think that those lines
   are for decoration. Personally, I don’t like JavaScript, and I have visitors 
   who disable JavaScript anyway, so I am thinking of deleting those lines from 
   the plug-in source code. But before I do that, I would like to ask if it’s safe
   to delete them. Thanks for any information.

 * To answer my own question,
 * Looking at the plug-in source code, JavaScript is only needed for the feature“
   Has the form already been submitted? If so, reset the form”. So for basic use,
   JavaScript is not needed. In fact, the programmer has provided a hidden switch
   to turn off JavaScript. You edit file:
 *     ```
       /si-contact-form/includes/class-fscf-display.php
       ```
   
 * and you change $add_fscf_script from “true” to “false”.

 * Js is also used for the captcha refresh button

 * Thank you for the clarification. Great plug-in, by the way!
