Hi Naval,

Good Day.

I am using your form already for "Tell a Friend", however, when i tested &/or "submit" it, it doesn't show me the thank you message. I also try testing to input an error email address but it doest return me with my Error Link Messages. I followed exactly your procedure stated above however i am affraid i missed one. I already uploaded TAF in my control panel & edited some of the portion like names of link. Here's the TAF format i copied from my control panel:

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Hi George,

Ic. Thank you for yr help and info.

Nice day!

Re: Tell A Friend Script

That is what i meant, you can't use the Javascript because the forum script strips it off. It works as entire page because there is no Javascript in a simple link.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Hi George,

I have managed to create a link in the forum by linking it as http://domainname.com/TAF.html. But do you hv any ideas in as how to set the width=310 and height=170 of the window??

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Eric

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Not sure if you can do it, forum scripts usually assign their own targets to links.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Hi George,

Sorry to trouble you once again.

I hv tried to insert the link #" onClick="window.open('TAFform.html', '','width=310,height=170'); return false;" into a picture inside my forum (i'm using vBulletin); so that when being clicked it will pop-out the mini tell a friend form; but it doesn't seems to work.

Are there any special codes for the use of attachment of the link to a picture/ photos?

Thank you.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Please use my contact form and send me your TAF.php file, there must be something wrong with it.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Hi Naval,

Just an elaboration, what I meant is that the "Spam Menu" popout after I have completed filling up the details (i.e. my name, my email, friend's name & friend's email) and pressed "tell a friend" button.

The link is @ my main page www.BabyandPapa.com.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply!

[navaldesign]

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Can you please provide a link to the page with yourTAF button ? so i can have a look ?

Seems strange.... so i have to see this.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Hi Naval,

The spam menu pops up when I click the "Tell a friend" button.

Just enquire, we can't key the "@" for email address? The spam notice says "

No user input @, http or www are allowed.
Please go back to the form and edit your input!

Pls help. Thank you very much.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Thanks again. I tested it and I got it to work!
But one thing. When I tested it, I keyed in the email information and then I clicked the "close" button, and it closed off the whole entire website.
How do I make it to where it just closes the email page and they stay on the website?

Thanks for all your help again.
