Re: No information from form

Probably wrong Encoding type, or fields outside the form boundaries. A link to the form please ?

Re: No information from form

Ramsey (Marincky) has had the patience to look through the pages for the link to the form. The problem is the encoding type: it is set to be text/plain instead of the correct Multipart / Form Data.

Also, rename your Email field to email (all lowercase and name your text area Comments instead of the default Textarea1

Re: No information from form

Ok, now I am getting the information. Thanks so much.
a) Is there a way to actually see what the checkbax says instead of getting checkbox 1, checkbox 2, etc and
b) why am I also getting the submit button.
c) Finally, how can I put the information in the email in the order that it is in the form.

Re: No information from form

1. Checkboxes are un-named. That's why you receive checkbox1 etc. Name them.
2. The submit button MUST be named "submit" or you will also receive it .
3. Right click the first field, and from the right click menu select "Move to Front". Repeat with all fields, in the desired order. Include in this procedure your Reset and Submit buttons.

Re: No information from form

Thank you soo much! Ok hopefully last question.
Is there a way to change the font and/or color of the information that is received in the e-mail to make it easier to sort and can I automatically send it to a database or do I have to type each one in individually.

Re: No information from form

At the moment the only option for database storing is ABVFP.

It is not possible to use different fonts and colors, this requires htm email which is not yet available in ABVFP.

Re: No information from form

I tested your form.
First, the validation doesn't work, because the form name has two words separated by a whitespace. Replace it with an underscore.
Then i see that your success page is coming up, which means that the script DOES work. If you get no email, there can only be two reasons:
1. You mistyped your email address in the form wizard
2. The email gets blocked by your ISP.

Try replacing the email address with one within your own account, and then check for the mail in your webmail to see if it gets at least there.
