 * Hi, great plug-in, but when the form outputs a validation error, it replaces 
   the the_content html on my pages.
 * You can see for yourself at ([http://dtownsend.co.uk/agirlhastoeat/](http://dtownsend.co.uk/agirlhastoeat/))
   using the contact form in the footer.
 * Many thanks for this great plug-in, and any help you can provide.

 * That is what the plugin is supposed to do. If you have another suggestion, please
   let me know.

 * Oh, ok. Personally I would use jquery to append an error message to the applicable
   fields within the contact form, much like this ([http://www.sous-design.com/contact.php](http://www.sous-design.com/contact.php)).
   Do you mind if I modify the plugin for this purpose?

 * I dont mind at all. If you send the modified plugin files to me, ill try to work
   them in to the next version and give you/your website credit.

 * So, rather than edit the plugin itself I just smacked [jquery.validate](http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/validation)
   on top. You can see it in action at [http://www.agirlhastoeat.com#footer](http://www.agirlhastoeat.com#footer)
   
   Hope you find this useful and can integrate it with the plugin in the future.
