Hi my e-mail form has decided to stop working and I am not sure why it has been working in the past and I have not changed any of the code.

 

I have the contact page and also a php page.

 

Here is the code.

 

CODE For contact form on page contact.html

    <table class="center" cellspacing="10px">
  <tr>
       <td>Email:</td>
       <td>howlomogo@hotmail (.) com</td>
     </tr>
   </table>
<form action="contactprocess.php" method="post" class="conbox">
<table class="con" cellspacing="10px">
     <tr>
       <td><div align="right">Name: </div></td>
       <td><input class="con" name="name" type="text" id="name" maxlength="40" /></td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td><div align="right">Email: </div></td>
       <td><input class="con" name="email" type="text" id="email" maxlength="40" /></td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td><div align="right">Message: </div></td>
       <td><textarea class="con" name="message" id="message" cols="35" rows="7"></textarea></td>
     </tr>
  <tr>
  <td><input type="submit" name="Send" value="Send" id="Send" /></td>
  <td><input type="reset" name="Clear" value="Clear" id="Clear" /></td>
  </tr>
   </table>
</form>

Wow genius thanks ALOT that has saved me a lot of hours so it was only because I had the ;s there ?

indeed, its because ; means the end of the this statement so the "s" after it creates a syntax error

 

glad to be of service

Haha snider I like how you were even able to diagnose how it got there - like a true detective!

The code is working in Firefox and Safari on Mac but is not working on Internet Explorer on windows. I am not sure why but am wondering if it has anything to do with securing the form? there are no error messages, the e-mail just does not come through.

 

 

Form Code

 

<form action="formprocess.php" method="post">
<p><label for="firstname">First Name</label> <input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname" /></p>
<p><label for="lastname">Last Name</label> <input type="text" id="lastname" name="lastname" /></p>
<p><label for="address1">Address 1</label> <input type="text" id="address1" name="address1" /></p>
<p><label for="address2">Address 2</label> <input type="text" id="address2"	name="address2" /></p>
<p><label for="country">Country</label> <input type="text" id="country" name="country" /></p>
<p><label for="postcode">Postcode</label> <input type="text" id="postcode" name="postcode" /></p>
<p><label for="telephone">Telephone</label> <input type="text" id="telephone" name="telephone" /></p>
<p><label for="mobile">Mobile</label> <input type="text" id="mobile" name="mobile" /></p>
<p><label for="email">E-mail</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="email" /></p>
<p><label for="maxrent">Max Rent (£)</label> <input type="text" id="maxrent" name="maxrent" /></p>
<input type="submit" name="Send" value="Send" id="Send" />
<input type="reset" name="Clear" value="Clear" id="Clear" />

i made this, seing how so many are having troubles with email contact forms:

 

http://sandbox.sakuiweb.com/contact/

The problem I am having is when I fill the e-mail field in it does not send? I can fill in all the other parts but when I fill in the e-mail field it does not work with Internet explorer or Firefox AHH any ideas?

 

http://www.mdpdesigns.co.uk/abba_lettings/tenant_form.html

 

here is where the form is.

make sure the global settings are correct (you need to set the number to the field number where the user inputs thier email address)
