Hi all,
I'm trying to use the malsup jquery form plugin and I can't get the simple example to work (http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#ajaxForm). I've pasted my code below. What is going wrong? All that happens is I get an alert box that says "Thank you for your comment!". Nothing else happens.
Thanks,
Mark
