 * Hi
 * When putting a class on the submit <input>, the form doesn’t work anymore.
    I
   write this: <input type=”submit” value=”Je veux recevoir les nouveautés !” class
   =”et_pb_newsletter_button” />
 * Without the “class=…”, the plugin works perfectly and when I add it, nothing 
   work anymore. When I click, nothing move, I don’t get any message and the icon
   in my browser’s tab doesn’t animate.
 * Here is the link (because I’m sure some JS impact your plugin) : [http://test.lumeeq.com](http://test.lumeeq.com)
   
   If that helps, I use the Divi theme from Elegant Themes.

 * Hi there,
 * Your submit button is hidden in HTML comments and your actual submit button is
   an `<a>` element. Is that on purporse?
 * The correct HTML should look something like this.
 *     ```
       <!-- Label doit rester, même caché, car permet la disparition du texte dans le champ au focus -->
       <p>
           <label style="display: none;">Adresse e-mail</label>
           <input type="text" name="EMAIL" value="Adresse e-mail" required="required">
       </p>
       <p>
           <label style="display: none;">Prénom</label>
           <input type="text" name="FNAME" value="Prénom" class="input">
       </p>
       <p>
           <label style="display: none;">Nom</label>
           <input type="text" name="LNAME" value="Nom">
       </p>
       <p style="margin-left:20%;">
           <span style="font-weight:bold;">Je suis interessé...</span>
           <label>
               <input type="radio" name="CATEGORIE" value="Particulier"><span>Pour <strong>moi-même</strong></span>
           </label>
           <label>
               <input type="radio" name="CATEGORIE" value="Entreprise"><span>Pour mon <strong>entreprise</strong></span>
           </label>
           <label>
               <input type="radio" name="CATEGORIE" value="Ecole"><span>Pour mon <strong>école</strong></span>
           </label>
       </p>
   
       <p>
           <input type="submit" value="Je veux recevoir les nouveautés !" class="et_pb_newsletter_button" />
       </p>
       ```
   
 * It really shouldn’t make any difference if you add a `class` attribute to the
   submit button.
 * Let me know if that solves the issue! 🙂

 * Well, I think that there is some JS involved because classic CSS works like a
   charm. As I took back an existing class to take its settings, I think that it’s
   what is also linked to the JS which validate the form, as no <form> is involved.
   
   So i’ll create a specific class.
 * Sorry for the disturbing.

 * Hi
 * You visited the website while I was doing some tests. If you check it now, you’ll
   see that I use the INPUT button. I polished it through CSS and I got the result
   I wanted.
 * Thanks for your answer.
