 * I am using Form Manager ver 1.6.19. I am having two problem: 1. Bullets are showing
   for each input label and 2. the form is not validating. You can view the form
   here: [http://www.ofosa.org/wordpress/?page_id=406](http://www.ofosa.org/wordpress/?page_id=406).
   If I leave all input fields blank and submit the form, I receive the “thank you”
   message and the form data is received in the database and via email, but validation
   is never triggered. Any ideas how to hide the bullets and what’s wrong with the
   validation? Thank you!

 * For (1) add the following somewhere in a CSS document that you can edit without
   losing changes:
 *     ```
       .fm-form ul li{
           background: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * If your theme doesn’t have a spot to put custom CSS, you can make a ‘note’ element
   at the top of your form, remove the label, and check the HTML option for the 
   note element. Then put the above CSS within `<style>` and `</style>` and you 
   should be all set.
 * As for the validation the submit button needs to have the ‘onclick’ property 
   set to `return fm_submit_onclick(1)`. This will call the javascript validation.
   Good luck!

 * Hoffman,
 * A while ago you posted the above response. The bullet problem is fixed. I don’t
   know how/where to edit the HTML to add the onclick property to the submit button.
   Can you direct me?

 * There isn’t a simple way to do that, but it *can* be done.
 * You could [customize the form template](http://www.campbellhoffman.com/question/create-a-form-display-template/)
   to customize the button directly. Just place your own HTML button instead of 
   the call to fm_form_the_submit_btn().
 * OR
 * You could add javascript to a ‘note’ form item (make sure to check the HTML box).
   You will have to use jQuery.ready() to run your code after the page loads.
