$ret = '<form id="wphc" action="' . get_permalink(). '" method="post">

<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery(document).ready( function () {
		jQuery("#wphc").validate();
	} );
</script>';

return $ret;
?>

Have one more question:

Can I sent the email from this plugin to my drop box in High Rise?

Had to change

<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery(document).ready( function () {
		jQuery("#wphc").validate();
	} );
</script>

to

<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery(document).ready( function ($) {
		$("#wphc").validate();
	} );
</script>
