I\'ve got a form that I clear on focus. I\'ve selected the whole form and it works great except that the submit button goes blank when I click it.
how can I exclude my i
Use the not selector to exclude what you want:
$(".wpcf7-form input:not('#submit_id'), .wpcf7-form textarea").focus(function() { // your code...... }
Or
$(".wpcf7-form input:not(input[type=submit]), .wpcf7-form textarea").focus(function() { // your code...... }
