    Check boxes on form not working now

    domain name: cateryourparty.com

    Re: menu.html

    This is a page with 2 forms on it. The 1st form has check boxes - then a "To Submit Page" button that is bookmarked to the 2nd form where the customer then "Submit"s their food choices (along with other info). The check boxes keep clearing when the "To Submit Page" is clicked.

    This has always worked just fine (almost 2 years). But, now I'm (not) getting the customer's selected menu items on the email I receive from them. I'm getting all their other info just fine.

    Can someone look at this for me? Navel & Keith helped me originally with the processing pages and the scripts.

    Thank You,
    Debbye

    Did you change something ? I believe that your bookmark is wrong or something like this, so it is now opening a new window when you submit from page 1 (upper part) to page 2 (lower part)

      Yes, my pc crashed and I had to download the menu page from my ftp files. Of course alot of images (buttons, etc.,) were crazy and I had to redo. Can you please look at the bookmark for me?

      Thanks so much,
      Debbye

        Debbye,

        simply open your BV page and re-establish the link of the first submit button (To submit Page)

        Right now the code is:

        <a href="#page2" target="_blank"><img src="bv01054.gif" id="Image1" alt="#pg2" align="top" border="0" width="155" height="22" style="position:absolute;left:526px;top:2164px;wid th:155px;height:22px;z-index:186"></a>

        which means that it will open a new page (as it does) and will go to the bookmark page2 (which it does)

        Link this first button directly to your bookmark and everything will be fine.

          Thanks Naveldesign.

          I changed the Target to: "_self" and it now opens in the same window and the checks aren't being cleared as before. However, there must be some other underlying problem, because I'm still (not) getting the checked selections on the email.

          Please let me know what you think it might be?
          Thanks,
          Debbye

            Hi Debbye,

            I didn't see that before. You have TWO separate forms in your page!
            The trick that i had told you to follow, at that time, uses a SINGLE form.
            The visitor has only the illusion that he is filling in two separate forms, actually the form should be one.

            Open your BV page. CUT EVERYTHING THAT IS ON THE SECOND (LOWER) FORM ( fields TEXT ETC). Delete the form.

            stretch down the first form , so that it will cover the area of the second form. Paste back whatever you had CUT using the PASTE icon on the Toolbar.

            Move all fields by a pixel or so, untill, for each one of them, the form border becomes blue. This indicates that the field have now become part of the form.

            Edit the Action of the form to the correct ptocessing.php (i believe that's what you have called your script.

            Save, Publish, and Refresh your browser to test.

              That did it. It now works! I actually had it as 1 Form and started changing things around when it wasn't working properly.

              Would it be too much trouble if I want to (add) more selections? I know I can add them to the menu page, but I would then need to add them in the script you wrote for me also. Right? (It's no longer on my pc) Could I edit it from my control panel?

              Thank you so (so) Much!

                Your script has nothing (or SHOULD have nothing) to do with the number of fields, unless Andy had added specific validation. So, normally, you can go on and add as many fields as you like, without any need to change the script.

                  Yep, that also worked - just as you said! I believe you have answered all my questions.

                  Love your help!
