The form on this page http://www.outdoorlivingtablecloths.com/oltz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=10 has worked for years. It has now stopped sending e-mails from the form to the message center (and therefore to the forwarding address). I went through the settings and re-copied the HTML onto the page, but now there is no border showing, the redirect is to the wrong page, and there are still no e-mails coming through.

There have been no changes to the site in the last several months. The form on the Contact page works fine.

Am I missing something extremely obvious??

Thanks ... jd

Good Day,

The issue is that the myContactForm.com form is being nested within an already open form tag on your site. This causes the myContactForm.com field data to be submitted to the URL indicated in the first form tag rather than sending it to our form processing script. If you look at line 144 of your site, you will see the following:

Code:

<form name="cart_quantity" action="http://www.outdoorlivingtablecloths.com/oltz/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=10&amp;action=add_product" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">


This form tag needs to be closed with a </form> before inputting the myContactForm.com code.

I don't know enough (anything!) about php to know how to put the closing tag. I believe this is where the </form> tag should go, but where exactly?

<!--bof Form start-->
<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product'), 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"'). "\n"; ?>
<!--eof Form start-->

Also, out of curiosity, is there any particular reason why this is happening now, when it's worked the way it was for quite a long time?

Thanks again for your help ... jd

Unfortunately, I can't really advise you on the above code as I don't know the context. One possibility that could have caused this is that the cart software you use was updated, which caused this to change.

Probably the easiest fix would be to add a </form> directly above the myContactForm.com code on your site. This will close the other form, and should make the myContactForm.com code function as intended.

Yes, that is a very logical solution, and I will give it a try.

Thanks for all your help - I appreciate it.
