</div>
</li>
And add the new field
<li>
<label for=”subject”><?php echo Mage::helper(‘contacts’)->__(‘Subject’) ?> <span class=”required”>*</span></label>
<div class=”input-box”><input name=”subject” id=”subject” title=”<?php echo Mage::helper(‘contacts’)->__(‘Subject’) ?>” value=”” class=”required-entry input-text” type=”text”/>
