form question

[Endofthechain]

Good morning! I have a page on my site labeled Contact End of the Chain, and when I tried to send an e-mail through it (which would end up at my e-mail, of course) I received an error message: 404-Page not found.

I don't know where to start looking for the error-can I get some help?

thanks!

Re: Customer trying to contact me...and can't!

<form name="Contact Us" method="POST" action="/contact_us.php" id="Form1">

You have the action set incorrectly.. it need to be one of the built in processors.

You are trying to have the page process it and that wont work. See the tutorials of forms

Re: Customer trying to contact me...and can't!

Okay, thank you for the tip-I watched the tutorials, and completly started over from scratch, and I was able to test (sucessfully, I might add) from the contact us page. However, the e-mail goes through to my email address, but I am still getting from Yahoo a 404 error:
Sorry, the page you were looking for could not be found

http://endofthechain.com/contactus.php

Is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Customer trying to contact me...and can't!

Probably the 404 error is due to the fact that the script can't find the success page.
You have to also create that. If you have, and still the 404 error appears, you probably haven't correctly linked it in the Form Properties dialog box. I see that the script tries to redirect to "sucess page.html" which is wrong because you have published your success page as "sucess page.php" (php instead of html)

Go back in form properties, set the success page to be "sucess page.php". Save, Publish, Refresh your browser before testing.

In the future avoid page names with whitespaces, should be "successpage" or "success_page"
