Re: Contact Form Submit Button doesnt work.

Your submit button is outside the form area. SDelete it, stretch down the form as much as required, and re-position the submit button.

Re: Contact Form Submit Button doesnt work.

Your problem is that you have the action set to do exactly this: to mail you, through your own mail client .
action="mailto:me@domain.com"

The action should be set to submit to a script that will then process the form and send you the mail, not through your mail client

If you are a VH customer, use BlueVoda's built in form processor.

Re: Contact Form Submit Button doesnt work.

I want to implement ABVFP in my site. I installed it in http://www.rd77.com/ABVFP/contactform.html
In order to do it right, want to start using the example that comes with the product but i get an error message.
Please help me.

1. I need to know if ABFVP works only in the domain where it is installed only. For example, i have several domains within http://rd77.com and would like to know if I need to install it in every domain.

2. Another question, how do i use ABVFP in combination with bluevoda?

3. What have i done wrong?

I have a lot of question but by this time, i'll feel very well if answers for these ones are correctly answered.

by the way: I don't know how to post a new post

Re: Contact Form Submit Button doesnt work.

This post will be moved in a while, to a thread of its own.

To create a new thread, select the subforum (from the forum index, in example, select the Forms subforum). When you get there you will se on the left upper part of the page, a button "New Thread"

Regarding your questions:

1. Yes, though there is a couple more steps than in the the case of single installation. After you have completed the initial installation, post again and i will guide you through.
3. You simply set the form action to point to ABVFP. Read the ABVFP tutorial (included in the zip you downloaded), ALL the necessary instructions are there.

3. The form IS working, and ABVFP also. However, you had set the domain name, the error page and the thankou page to be NON existing pages:
http://www.tax???.com/ABVFP/thankyou_page.html and http://www.tax???.com/ABVFP/errorpage.html
So the script was trying to go to the error page (because the domain name and the Form URL are not the same, as they should be) but was not finding the error page, thus resulting in the error.
I made the thank you page and eror pages to be the ones that came with the script, so now it works.
