Contact form, how to hide text and show hints?

Question

I want to create a contact form, using Dreamweaver. In the preview it looks allright. But when uploading, I get the following problems:
The "hints" inside the boxes are missing, nomatter what browser I use.
The text "A value is required" (for example) is visible all the time. It should only be visible if people enter and leave the box blank.
And I just saw that it doesn't respect my font either, only in the preview mode.
Preview:
Uploaded (bad!):
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="formmail.php">
  <span id="nameTextField">
  <label for="name">Name</label> <br />
  <input type="text" name="name" id="name" tabindex="10" />
  <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span></span>
  <p><span id="emailTextField">
  <label for="email">Email</label><br />
  <input type="text" name="email" id="email" tabindex="20" />
  <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span><span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">Invalid format.</span></span></p>
  <p><span id="messageTextArea">
  <label for="message">Message</label> <br />
  <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="75" rows="8" tabindex="30"></textarea>
  <span id="countmessageTextArea"> </span><span class="textareaRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span><span class="textareaMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not met.</span><span class="textareaMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded maximum number of <br />
  characters.</span></span></p>
  <label for="submit"></label>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="40" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var sprytextfield1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("nameTextField", "none", {validateOn:["blur"], hint:"Your name"});
var sprytextfield2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("emailTextField", "email", {hint:"Your email", validateOn:["blur"]});
var sprytextarea1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextarea("messageTextArea", {minChars:1, maxChars:999, counterType:"chars_remaining", counterId:"countmessageTextArea", validateOn:["blur"], hint:"Your message"});

Did you upload your Spry assets folder and CSS files to your remote server?
Can you provide a link to your problem page?
