    copied!<p>I am setting up my error message on my form with jquery and when I go and view it it does not ask that the name field be required but just the email even though I have included it. Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="" id="contactform"&gt; &lt;fieldset class="first"&gt; &lt;div id="response"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="name_input"&gt; &lt;input name="name" id="name" class="required" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Name'){this.value = '';}" onblur="if(this.value == ''){this.value='Name';}" value="Name" maxlength="128" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="email_input"&gt; &lt;input id="email" name="email" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Email'){this.value = '';}" onblur="if(this.value == ''){this.value='Email';}" class="required" type="text" value="Email" maxlength="128" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="button"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" class="button" name="Submit" value="" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>and my JS:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $('form #response').hide(); $('#button').click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var valid = ''; var required = ' is required.'; var name = $('form #name').val(); var email = $('form #email').val(); if (name == '' || name.length &lt; 2) { valid = '&lt;p&gt;Your name' + required +'&lt;/p&gt;'; } if (!email.match(/^([a-z0-9._-]+@[a-z0-9._-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$)/i)) { valid += '&lt;p&gt;Your email' + required +'&lt;/p&gt;'; } if (valid != '') { $('form #response').removeClass().addClass('error') .html('&lt;strong&gt;Please correct the errors below.&lt;/strong&gt;' +valid).fadeIn('fast'); } else { $('form #response').removeClass().addClass('processing').html('Processing...').fadeIn('fast'); var formData = $('form').serialize(); submitForm(formData); } }); }); </code></pre> <p>There are not any conflicts with my name tag anywhere else so I dont know what may be happening</p>
