 * I am using the WordPress form manager for this form: [http://www.ofosa.org/wordpress/?page_id=406](http://www.ofosa.org/wordpress/?page_id=406).
   The form has required fields but when I click the Submit button it’s not validating
   them. The form is just sent through and I receive the emails and an entry in 
   the database. If I need to modify the code on the form itself, how/where do I
   do this? I don’t see an option within the WordPress interface.

 * I REALLY need to resolve this problem. I was able to add the code for the submit
   button to call the validation JavaScript [fm_submit_onclick(1)] by inserting 
   short code for a form button on the page I in which I inserted the form. Of course
   all this does is add a second Submit button to the form page. When I click on
   this button it does validate the required fields but how do I actually change
   the submit button added automatically by the form manager plug-in??? Yes I am
   using a custom theme but it really seems like this should be documented somewhere
   as it’s basic functionality of the form. Please help!!
