I’m a web development student and I need some help. I have the code below; How do I make it work only when the form is submitted and not the text field is clicked. I also would like it to get and insert the textField’s value in the .thanks Div. Please help me learn.

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".quote").click(function(){
     $(this).fadeOut(5000);
    $(".thanks").fadeIn(6000);
    var name = $("#name").val(); 
      $("input").val(text);


  }); 

});

</script>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.thanks {
    display: none;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<form action="" method="get" id="quote" class="quote">
  <p>
    <label>
      <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
    </label>
  </p>
  <p>
    <label>
      <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
    </label>
  </p>
</form>
<div class="thanks"> $("#name").val();  Thanks for contacting us, we'll get back to you as soon as posible</div><!-- End thanks -->

    This is a bit rough and ready but should get you going

    $(document).ready(function(){
  $("#submitbutton").click(function(){
    //fade out the form - provide callback function so fadein occurs once fadeout has finished
    $("#theForm").fadeOut(500, function () {
        //set the text of the thanks div
        $("#thanks").text("Thanks for contacting us " + $("#name").val());
        //fade in the new div
        $("#thanks").fadeIn(600);
        });

  }); 

});

    and I changed the html a bit:

    <div id="theForm">
<form action="" method="get" id="quote" class="quote">
  <p>
    <label>
      <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
    </label>
  </p>
  <p>
    <label>
      <input type="button" name="submitbutton" id="submitbutton" value="Submit" />
    </label>
  </p>
</form>
</div>
<div id="thanks">Thanks for contacting us, we'll get back to you as soon as posible</div><!-- End thanks -->
