 * Kudos to Matthew Muro on well designed plug-in –but I am having some problems
   that I cannot work through. My website is a child theme of Twenty Eleven, and
   the form is located at:
 * [http://opendesignproject.org/autodesk-inventor-and-ilogic-question-form/](http://opendesignproject.org/autodesk-inventor-and-ilogic-question-form/)
 *  I got the css to work by pasting the plug-in’s css into the child theme’s style.
   css file, but cannot get the validation java script to run for the life of me.
   I’ve even tried loading it in the header. Validation works fine if I switch to
   the Twenty Eleven theme.
 * I’ve turned off all other plug-ins as well, as well as the following scripts 
   called from the head:
 * ddsmoothmenu.js v1.4
    jquery.min.js v1.2.6
 * Any ideas what is going wrong?

 * Your theme needs to use the wp_head and wp_footer functions. Those will automatically
   load the files you need.

 * Pure genius! Thanks ever so much! Worked like a charm, and I have a feeling it
   wills solve a few other ills as well! I really love this plugin, great job Matthew!
