www.elitetradesmen.com I have had help from someone regarding getting my forms to submit. he set up this page http://www.elitetradesmen.com/contact2.php which works fine so i have tried to use his code to make the rest of the forms on my site work. I've clearly done it wrong but i'm completely stuck and don't know where i'm going wrong. I would really appreciate it if someone could have a look at the following pages on my site and fix them for me or explain in detail how i do it. http://www.elitetradesmen.com/101.php http://www.elitetradesmen.com/102.php http://www.elitetradesmen.com/103.php http://www.elitetradesmen.com/Registrationform.php http://www.elitetradesmen.com/Searchtrades.php http://www.elitetradesmen.com/Searchtrades1.php The other problems i'm having are: How do i link to the thank you pages i've uploaded when i submit form Check box agreeing to terms to still work with send button on php pages The text on the button changed from email to submit

Really struggling with this. I think my form is set up to open the email program when the submit button is pressed but it doesn't, i don't want it to send this way but don't know why it doesn't. I've included the code from my form in the link. can someone please insert the correct code so i can send it to my email via wherever so it doesnt open an email box, oh and a link to a thank you page would be handy. Also do i need to do this as an asp and what code would i need in the head if this is the case. Been tryin to do this all day and got no where. http://www.elitetrad...om/contact.html <FORM NAME="feedback" FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:enquiries@elitetradesmen.com"> <p><BR> <LABEL for="firstname">First Name: </LABEL> Last Name: <label for="lastname"><br /> <input type="text" id="firstname" /> <input type="text" id="lastname" /> <br /> </label> <BR> <label for="telephone">Telephone: </label> Email:<BR> <INPUT type="text" id="telephone"> <label for="email"> <input type="text" id="email" /> <br /> </label> <label for="natureofenquiry"> <br /> </label> Nature of enquiry:<br /> <textarea name="natureofenquiry" cols="35" rows="5" id="details"></textarea> <p><br /> <input type="button" name="SubmitButton" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form>

http://www.elitetradesmen.com/searchtrades1.html Well my site is almost finally finished. Its taken me a few weeks of constant work (i know you guys could have knocked it together in an hour or so) but for my first attempt i'm fairly pleased plus i've learnt alot. I appreciate all the help i've had on here. I have a final couple of questions. 1. I need to set all my forms up with a 'thank you for submitting the form' page. Whats the easiest way? 2. How do i actually set up my forms to send. I just want the user to click submit, he gets a thank you page and the form is sent to my email. If you can explaining it in relevence to my link at the top it would be great, i've had a lot of replies saying here's the code you need. Generally i've had no idea where to put it or what it relates to, my fault i know but like i said i'm new to all this.

I'm struggling to get my code right in order to validate a form. I have a checkbox which when checked accepts terms and conditions, i don't want the form to be able to be submitted without the button being checked. If i put a link to the page and include the code could someone please tell me exaclty what code i have to have and where.

www.elitetradesmen.com Two more questions for you. I'm guessing the first one is pretty simple where as the second might not be. 1. On my home page the 2 pics nearer the bottom of the page won't centre in the image boxes. If you look closely there is a larger gap at the bottom between the pic and the outline than round the rest of the image. Whatever i seem to do i can't make this gap smaller. I have several forms on my site, not yet worked out how to submit them but thats not my question, yet! What i want to do is put a check box at the end of the form which has to be checked to say the person completing the form agrees with all terms and conditions etc. Unless the box has been checked then the form shouldn't be submitted and i guess something should pop up saying it can't be submitted till they've agreed to terms etc. Is this as complicated as i think its going to to. Bearing in mind it took me hours to work out how to make tabs change colour so they were relevent to the page i was on. Cheers in advance for any advice and help you might be able to give

Ok so one more thing while i'm at it. How do i change the colour of the rollover text on the highlighted tab. I'm assuming i can do this.

Cheers, i've finally managed to get it to work on one page. Now to try and do the rest of the site.

Just plain html as far as i know. I've changed the code to this: css. #nav a { background-image:url(images/menu.gif); width:90px; height:19px; display:inline; float:left; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; text-align:center; padding-top:6px; text-decoration:none; color:#e9e4d0; font-weight:bolder; } #nav selected { background-image:url(images/menu2.gif); width:90px; height:19px; display:inline; float:left; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align:center; padding-top:6px; text-decoration:none; color:#e9e4d0; font-weight:bolder; } html <div id="wrapper"> <h1>Elite tradesmen</h1> <div id="nav"> <a href="index.html">Home</a> <a href="quotes.html">Submit Quote</a> <a href="registration.html" class="selected">Registration</a> <a href="policies.html">Our Policies</a> <a href="contact1.html">Contact Us</a> </div>

Still trying to work out how to make my tabs stand out when i'm on a certain page. Here is the code i've come up with but i've clearly done something wrong as it doesn't work. css. #nav a { background-image:url(images/menu.gif); width:90px; height:19px; display:inline; float:left; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; text-align:center; padding-top:6px; text-decoration:none; color:#e9e4d0; font-weight:bolder; } #nav a.current { background-image:url(images/menu2.gif); color:#918A70; } #nav a.current:hover { color:#918A70; } html. <div id="wrapper"> <h1>Elite tradesmen</h1> <div id="nav"> <a href="index.html">Home</a> <a href="quotes.html">Submit Quote</a> <a class="menu2" href="registration.html">Registration</a> <a href="policies.html">Our Policies</a> <a href="contact1.html">Contact Us</a> </div>

Thanks, you've made that really easy to understand and thats saying a lot coming from me. I'll give it a try in the morning. Thanks again, really appreciate the help.

www.elitetradesmen.com Above is a link to my site, in respects of design i think its pretty much done. The one thing i'm struggling with is that i want the tabs at the top which show the links to pages to change colour depending on what page your on. So lets say i'm on the area page the area tab at the top will be a dark grey the same as the page and all other tabs will be a lighter colour. One problem i see though is that not all my pages have a tab at the top. How do i get round this as when i'm on when of these pages i'm not sure what to do with the tabs.

My site : www.elitetradesmen.com I've got the site looking almost how i want but i've been given a few suggestions but don't know how to put them in place, any help would be much appreciated. Colour of tab depending on page 1024x768 resolution for home page Size & font on the tabs slightly different Border round the 3 pics on my homepage which changes colour when the mouse is over it like here : http://www.it-stud.hiof.no/~benteh/tmp/test/test.html If anyone has any other suggetsions i'd like to hear them.

Ok i've done something wrong. I'm getting a value appear in the text box but not the right one. Can someone tell me what i've done wrong.

Cheers, didn't expect it to be that simple. Must be frustrating for you guys but just want to say that even simple advice like that is really appreciated.

I understood that till you said to change the page to PHP? I'm sorry, this is my first attempt at a web site so its all new to me. If there is an easy way to change to php, i will do a search later but i never seem to be able to find anything which explains it well enough for me to understand at the moment.
