[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Custom success text image

Hi All,

I’m configuring a customised contact form using the contact form 7 plugin which will be displayed in a lightbox.

My last step is to edit the success message. I already know how to edit the text, but I was hoping for little more customisation.

What I would like to achieve is:

– On submit, everything disappears apart from the form background
– new text pops up in the middle of the lightbox form saying “Thank you.. etc”

Initially I was thinking of adding the following CSS so that the success message loads the background image as an overlay, but the only problem with this is the text alignment isn’t customisable:

div.wpcf7-mail-sent-ok {
padding: 0 0 0 0;
margin: -285px 0 0 -40px;
background: url(images/Pop-up_bkgrd.png) no-repeat;
position: absolute;
float: left;
width: 408px;
height: 380px;
padding-top: 408px;
clear: both;
