[Pro] send form

Can’t get my “send form” action to work. I’ve uploaded to a server on godaddy to check it out. Is that the problem—godaddy? Everything looks good on the action palette. exactly the way the youtube tutorial explains it.

here’s the url if you want to check it;
www.cfxstudios.net/testing/scottseed5/contactus.html

It doesn’t matter what I put in the input fields it will not send but it gives me the success page.

Before this it was giving me the error page even if the input fields were filled out correctly.

I will click on the “hosted on godaddy” button to see if it works and get back to you—unless you guys can tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Well I clicked on hosted by godaddy button and the send form gave me a success page when I filled out the imput fields correctly. When I didn’t fill the forms out correctly it gave me an error page which is great; hoever, when i filled out the form in the error page and send it again, it didn’t send, it gave me the error page again.

Do i have to tell the user to go backwards and fill the input fields correctly?

I guess my question is, how do i get the user to fill out the error page correctly and it sends the form, without them having to go back a page?

Not quite sure why you have the form repeated on the error page. You really only need the one form - on the contact page.

The form on the error page doesn’t appear to have the sendform action on it anyway.

Generally the Error page should have the simple message ‘sorry that didn’t work please go back and try again’ - with a link back to the contact page.

And if you use a javascript link javascript:history.go(-1) then it will take them back to the page with all the fields filled in as you left them.
