    1. Make sure the SUBMIT button truly IS within the margins of the Form on your page.
    2. Be sure to PUBLISH your "Success" page, and to have published it according to the page name and link your entered in the Form Properties, as a ".html" page.

      Re: form not working

      The problem, as the message clearly indicates, is that your "error" page is missing.

      For some reason, the script tries to report the error, but can't find the error page and it reports this error.

      Create an "error" page. Since in the form properties you have set it to be .html, make sure you publish it as such (.html) .
      Make sure you include, in this page, the following text:

      ##error##

      This will be replaced, when the script reports the error, by the actual error message and you will be able to understand what is wrong with your form.

      Please note that your checkboxes are named incorrectly (though this has no effect on the form submission) as they have the standard "Checkbox1" , "Checkbox2" atc names.
      Each checkbox of the same group should have the same name. In example, your "How did you find us" checkboxes should ALL have the name referral[] and then each one should have the related value: Google, Yahoo, Yellow Pages, etc. The square brackets are required for force the script "gather" all possible answers under the same "referral" label.

          <<normally this should be a page like the rest of your pages, with a message like:

          We have encountered the following error:

          then the ##error## part

          and last, a "Back button"

                The simplest way is to add in your page an advanced button, and, through its properties, set it to be a Back button.
