You should improve the HTML code of the default template. For usability and accessibility reasons you should use the label HTML tag in forms. Bad code:

Code:
<tr>
<td align="left"><b>Name:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="25" value=""></td>

</tr>

Better code:

Code:
<tr>
<td><label for="name">Name:</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="25"></td>

</tr>

The description of the accessibility error by Webaim Wave:

ERROR: Form label missing
A form <input>, <select>, or <textarea> does not have a corresponding label
