Hi, Every time I type an email address in the “Value” field in Hidden Fields within Form Setup the address becomes gobbldygoop when Freeway publishes the page. It’s as if the @ symbol freaks out the program.
If you look at the code and go to: <input type=hidden name=“my_email” value="to
… and on and on you can see what’s happening. If I type any email address in there using the @ symbol the text goes haywire. If I don’t add the symbol then the text is fine.
Freeway has built-in e-mail address masking so that any e-mail
addresses you type can be cloaked and kept off of automatic address
harvesters’ lists. You can turn this feature off in the Preferences.
But you might want to re-think your form setup if you are using an
unencoded address in your page. There are form handlers that don’t
require you to expose yourself so completely. Take a look at Tim
Plumb’s PHP Feedback Form Action for one example of how to do this
more correctly.

I tried using the feedback form and it does the same thing with the email address. I entered the email address in the form action window and the form action produced the same value=”to
…etc.
I’m not using Godaddy so I didn’t use any of the advanced settings.
