Re: form trouble

Make sure you have typed in your success page url correclty. Remember to add the .html after your success page title. The same with your error page.

Re: form trouble

well, what is your success page name?
How did you put it in the form properties?

Did you include your website name....eg....http://www.dvd-demos.com/success_page.html

Re: form trouble

i saved it as just success

in the success url i put http://www.dvd-demons.com/success.html

Re: form trouble

what is meant to be placed in the "action" box in page properties because the exact information that is in there now appears after my website name when the "website page not found" page appears

Re: form trouble

Re: form trouble

I don't know that part of the page properties so well. Maybe you should delete it..... as far as I know, you are struggeling with the form. I don't think page properties has anything to do with forms...(I am speaking under correction)

Make sure you have specified the form action in the form properties window.

If nothing works, then I will hold thumbs for someone to come along who will be able to solve your problem...

Re: form trouble

All that is left for me to advise, is to have a look at the video about creating forms again.....

Re: form trouble

how do you delete a page?

[scdsuccess]

Re: form trouble

go to your control panel, then go to file manager, choose your domain, go to your public html folder, search for the page, tick and delete...

Re: form trouble

Your contact page is published as html. It needs to be php. Go to Page Properties, and set the page extension to be php. Save, Republish, refresh your browser before testing.
