Hi,
I’ve made a box model website. I inserted 3 html boxes.
A header, body and footer.
Now, in the body part I want to make a form. Everything is ready but I can’t get the buttons to work if they are in the same html box.

How do i solve this?
Thnx,
David

What method are you using for the form - are using an action to process it or a form handler script.
There are no Form tags in your online page so no processing information.

I’m using a form handler script.
Is there a other way to fix this.

But there is no code in your page to direct the output to a form script!
You have to set it up in Page>Form Setup
There is also Tim Plumb’s excellent PHP Feedback Form action which creates the handler for you FreewayActions.com | PHP feedback form

If your host supports PHP (which it will) then I would go for Tim’s PHP action - it works great.

Hi,
That’s strange!
I set it all up in form setup, using the the POST method and hidden fields. It’s formmail.pl
Here is the FW file. Can you see what I do wrong.

That is your complete site Not the FW file
Just go to the Contact page in FW and have a look under Page>Form setup and see what is there

That is not a proper link!
If you are going to put it on the server then zip it first and remove server username/password etc

You can copy the contact page and paste it into a new document.
Click on the page icon in the site pane at the left of your screen Edit>Copy
Create a new document File>New use a blank page
Give it a name and somewhere to save it to.
In the site pane of the new doc click on the Site Folder Edit>Paste and your contact page will appear in the site folder
Save the file, close it and then in the finder click on it and Compress it to create a zip file
Then get that to your server and provide a link

OK - got that
In Form Setup you have the path to your formmail script as http://www.detoevlucht.be/test/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl
Do you really have a cgi-bin at that location? And if you did I suspect that scripts in it wouldn’t work. Generally cgi-bins are at the root of the server ie

I know, but now the buttons “verzenden” and “wissen” are placed in the HTML box. If I put them outside the box it all works fine.

You have the action to create a reset button from a graphic on the reset but no similar action on the Verzenden

For the “verzenden” button I only have to check THE submit box in the inspector panel.

Why not insert a ‘proper’ submit button in there instead and see if that works.

I did but it didn’t work. Only if I place THE buttons outside THE box

The other thing that you will have to be careful of when you use this sort of layout for your form is when text is resized then it can/will overlap with your form elements.
Generally it is reckoned that you should layout a form within a table that gives a coherent structure that will keep all your elements together. Especially when resizing text.
Personally I keep clear of using Matt’s formmail script as it is so well known it has become a target for email spammers - or at the very least rename it to something less obvious that will not be spammed.
There are spammers out there looking for that formmail.pl script so that they can abuse it.

For some reason the Form tags are not being created for your page. Have you tried Tims PHP FF action?

OK - just found this post and a reply from Tim on a similar question
Hi Vic, This is a know issue when creating box model layout pages. Apply the Multiple Form action (http://www.actionsforge.com/actions/view/43-multiple-form ) to a parent element and create it manually. Regards, Tim.
