# Move Error before Field

 * Is it possible to move the Warning Error before the field after validation?
 * The error that by default reads “Please fill the required field.”… can it be 
   moved in front of the field? Right now, it is behind it and disrupts the layout
   of my field. The other option, which would be fantastic, would be replace it 
   with a border around the field that needs attention.
 * Thanks,
    Aaron

 * Any suggestions on this? I would really prefer not to change to another plugin,
   but fear if I can’t get this resolved that I might have to.

 * Thank you for your quick response.
 * This was one of the first things I tried but could not get them to work. I’m 
   tried adding it to a wrapping element for a specific field and for the entire
   form, but neither seems to work.
 * I verified with the source code that the class is being added. I’m certain that
   the AJAX is working within the form normally. What else would cause it to not
   work?
 * Any ideas?

 * Just after submitting my reply, I found that I was in fact missing the “wp_head”
   and “wp_footer” from the most recent files that I had uploaded. This was not 
   allowing the class to work properly.
