* Just a small suggestion/fix. In contact-form.view.php there are a few span’s
with the ‘for’ attribute. The for attribute should only really be on the label
elements, as such it is resulting in a validation error. If you could remove
the ‘for’ attributes from the span elements in the next update it would be muchley
appreciated.
* Keep up the good work! It’s a fantastically useful plugin 🙂

* Hi there.
* Unfortunately I can’t take out the ‘for’ attributes as the form validation jquery
script requires it to be there.

* Hi Meg,
* Thanks for the quick reply.
* Found a fix.
* in jquery.validate.contact.form.js
* Change :
`$errele = $form.find("div[for='cscf_" + name +"']");`
* to
* `$errele = $form.find("div[id='error_cscf_" + name +"']");`
* And then in contact.form.view.php
* change spans from
* `for="csrf_email"`
* to
* `id="error_csrf_email" etc`
* All the best
* Jon

* Ignore that. It doesn’t work as hoped! Will keep trying!
