USER ID: HanSoloRRT

Form Location: http://www.bluemarlinchronicles.com/store/pg/1-Contact-Us.html

I tried using the form and it is not coming through. A customer who has been trying to reach me alerted me to this problem. I checked the SPAM folders for all of my email accounts and the forms are not going there. The link where the contact form resides appears to be working.

Good Day,

The issue is that you have placed the myContactForm.com code into an existing open form tag. The issue with this is that when the submit button is pressed, it posts the data to the 'action' of the first form tag it is located in. If you look at the code on your site you will see the following line near the top:

Code:
<form method="post" action="/Store/CMS/Page.aspx?PageID=20" id="MainForm">


This form tag needs to be removed or closed(</form>) before inserting the code. The net effect that it is currently having now is posting to the /Store/CMS/Page.aspx?PageID=20 page .... essentially refreshing the page.

Hi,
I do not see the HTML code you specify. When I go into my contact page source, this is the HTML code that is currently there:

<span class="ContentPageBody" id="lblBody">
<h1></h1>
<h1>Contact Us</h1>
<h3>By Email:</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.mycontactform.com/hosted/form.php?formid=170390">Contact US</a></p>
<h3><a>By Phone:</a></h3>
<p><a>Phone: (954)&nbsp;263-6177 <br>
</a><br>
<a>Store Address:</a></p>
<p><a>BlueMarlinChronicles.com<br>
311 SE 10th Street<br>
Pompano Beach, Florida 33060<br>
United States</a></p>
</span>

Ok, this was the reply from my host, you tell me if what he writes here makes any sense to you, he lost me after the first sentence:

Below is the HTML that displays the page. As you can see the form the closing form tag is there. However what you may be running into her is the .net restriction to multiple form tags not being allowed on a single page. This code would need to be displayed inside an Iframe in order for the form to function.

This really isn't an issue. You should be able to have multiple form tags on your site. All you need to do is close the first form tag before adding our form code. The line of code I pointed out exists on line 23 of the live page:

http://www.bluemarlinchronicles.com/store/pg/1-Contact-Us.html

It might be something that is added by your web provider on the server side. You need to navigate to the actual live page, right click the page, and select 'view source' to see the line of code I pointed out.
