Can you upload a page anywhere so that we see what you’ve done so far,
please? It’ll help to see where the problem might be.

Hi Carla

One of your main problems with this form is that you have not named your field items correctly


<div id="item9" style="position:absolute; left:735px; top:254px; width:316px; height:19px; z-index:12">
		<input name="item1" size=25></div>
	<div id="item10" style="position:absolute; left:735px; top:278px; width:312px; height:20px; z-index:13">
		<input name="item1" size=25></div>
	<div id="item11" style="position:absolute; left:735px; top:301px; width:318px; height:20px; z-index:14">
		<input name="item1" size=25></div>
	<div id="item12" style="position:absolute; left:735px; top:325px; width:316px; height:19px; z-index:15">
		<input name="item1" size=25></div>
	<div id="item13" style="position:absolute; left:735px; top:347px; width:84px; height:20px; z-index:16">
		<input name="item1" size=6></div>
	<div id="item14" style="position:absolute; left:846.045px; top:347px; width:117px; height:20px; z-index:17">
		<input name="item1" size=9></div>
	<div id="item15" style="position:absolute; left:735px; top:370px; width:200px; height:20px; z-index:18">
		<input name="item1" size=16></div>
	<div id="item17" style="position:absolute; left:735.714px; top:454px; width:344px; height:82px; z-index:19">
		<textarea cols=28 rows=4 name="item1"></textarea></div>

So much so that most of your input fields are all called item1

With your field selected in FW look in the inspector, 3rd Tab, Item Output Settings. The top 2 boxes are Name and Value

You should have name= the field name like email or address or company name or name and city, state etc. With no value in the Value field because that is provided by the user.

This is important because apart from autofill which requires these to be named correctly to work, you will confuse things by having them all called the same!

You also have


<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="success.html">

Which you dont need because you set this within the action inspector itself

This is also causing it to send the submitter to the success page whether it works or not.

Start with those and see how you get on - feel free to email me your page if you want me to have a look for you.

Hi Carla,
The form is submitting perfectly happily and I can see the success
page which means the PHP code is getting a positive response from the
server that the mail has been scheduled for delivery. It may be worth
checking with David (or your contact at I Need Web Hosting) if they
can look into why the server may be sitting on the mail request.
Regards,
Tim.

a very strange thing

I changed all the field names that were item 1
in the HTML name and not value boxes
I also changed the names in the site folder to match

when I uploaded the new changes then looked at VIEW Source… they were still named item 1

Why me? Ha!

now I am confused

You must have that in Page>Form Setup or Page>HTML Markup

Have a look at the Page menu there will be a tick in the menu if there is something in those areas.

Take out everything in Form Setup - The Form Action does it for you.

Just a word of caution here Carla - if you have reuploaded you still have a hidden field of redirect:success.html in there somewhere!

Your form text is also all graphic - try resizing the text in the browser and see what happens. Try the one I sent you for comparison.

The addition of a reset button is also useful.

Yes - the buttons can be cut and pasted into adjoining table cells - or copy/paste then delete the originals if you are more comfortable with that.
