   Hi!
   For some reason the "texts" in the contact form are no longer visible. They simply dissapeared. The values are there as you the text shows if I "hoover" over the field, but was supposed to also show in the field.

   Please check this link: .

   I really appreciate any help, figure it must be something with the css or some missing code, but am really new to this so I have no idea. Please explain like you would to a total beginner, as I am exactly that.

   thanks a lot!

   I checked your site and its HTML source. It's not CSS issue but due to the incorrect HTML structure you put in the form.

   How about starting by not using <ul> and <li>s, and adding label text to each fields?

   Takayuki, that can't be the problem. I tried cleaning it up, not sure what you mean by labels. However:

   http://www.copypanthers.com - there the form is working like it should.
   http://www.copypanthers.com/quote - the code is the same and it used to work until I updated to contact form 7.

   I am a novice so stuff that is 100% clear to you, is very unclear to me. Would really appreciate if you could give me more detailed instructions. I honestly don't get it and have spent 4-5 hours on this without any results. Even tried js. :-(

   <div class="form-left">

   • [text* text-651 class:text-box watermark "Your name (required)"]
   • [email* email-799 class:text-box watermark "Your e-mail (required)"]
   • [text text-687 class:text-box watermark "Your company"]
   • [text text-9 class:text-box watermark "Phone +00 000 0000 000"]
   • [textarea textarea-799 watermark "Write your message"]
   • Upload documents: [file file-565 limit:26214400 filetypes:doc|docx|docm|dotx|jpg|gif|png|bmp|dotm|xlsx|xlsm|xltx|xltm|xlsb|xlam|xll|pdf|pptx|pptm|potx|pom|ppam|txt|ppsx|ppsm|odt|ods|odp]
   • [submit class:submit-btn "Send"]

   </div>

   Note. I think that the problem is actually that the footer is not loading correctly.

    Uh, you mean watermark? I was misunderstanding.

    Right. That must be one of reasons of the problem. Maybe there are other ones. See the doc Why isn’t My AJAX Contact Form Working Correctly?
