Your forms look great on my website, but I didn't realize that my Microsoft (server) hosting package wouldn't be able to handle .php. Apparently I need to change to a Linux server. Are you able to fix the (HTML) code so my forms will work? My website has 2 forms (pg 8 & pg 12). The URL is http://www.wiregrassva.com. Thanks!

There is no need to have a Linux Server. Our server handles all of the processing which makes it work across all platforms.

The problem on your page is that the HTML code is missing some key parts that are making it not function. It is unclear to me whether this is something that your CMS or HTML editor stripped away, or something that was inadvertently removed. The primary problem exists here:

Quote:
<input value="" class="" id="user" name="user" type="hidden">
<input value="" class="" id="formid" name="formid" type="hidden">


You see that the 'value' of both of these items is blank. The original code that is provided has information (your username and the unique ID for the form). Without these values in the code, the form will not process.

Please recopy and paste the code to your site, ensure that these values are not striped out, and reupload to your server. This should solve the problem.
