 Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 4:08 am Post subject: CONTENT OF TEXT FIELD SOMETIMES MISSING |
 |
|
I have premium membership and quite a lot of forms but the one form giving me trouble is called "UPM Konzept Kontakt" - it can be found on :
http://www.upm-konzept.de/portal
description of problem : sometimes the content of the large text field (under 'was konnen wir fur sie tun' is not visible in the mail so my client has no idea why the people are writing.
I have tried
-changing the position of the field
- making it a required field
- testing by opening the site and sending test mail using different browsers (IE, Mozilla) but I cannot reproduce the problem.
Thanks for your input !
Brigitte
I just got another mail with content of text field missing.

This is caused because your website is using a character set that does not properly support the language being inputted into the form. If you look at the code on your website (line 5) you'll see the following:
| Code: |
| <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> |
Change this line to the following, and it should correct the issue.
| Code: |
| <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> |

| I would like to pick up on this thread again as changing from ANSI to UTF8 does not solve my problems. Now I do get the answers in from forms using 'weird signs' (mostly german like ü and their double ss) but unfortunately large parts of the text on the website and my dhtml menu are no longer correct. I took some printscreens of the problem before changing back to ANSI - is there another way to correct the problem ? [/img] |

This is definitely a character encoding issue. It sounds like the form is correct now, but the web site isn't. Unfortunately, I am unable to determine the issue, but am certain it is an encoding problem.
