I have a simple question… I cannot figure this out.
I have 2 pages that use contact forms- set up identically I think.
When the visitor puts in their email address and I get the email… it is coming from their email address and I can hit reply. Great!
I have another page and the visitor stils has to enter their email, but when it comes to me it s going to the address I put in the php feedback action box called From address.
I am stuck- I cannot figure out how I got the one page to have it arrive at me from their email?
I need both to work like that so I can respond back to them easily.
Are you setting the field name on the e-mail field exactly to ‘email’? Make sure this is in the third tab of the inspector, not the first – the field is labeled Name, and this is the only place in Freeway where you can make this change. Remember, a form handler does not care what is on the page visually around a form field – it only cares about the name attribute in the actual HTML code.

SORRY,
it is still not working…
the contact page sends me an email from the visitors email.
the videofeedback page keeps sending me the email from email@hidden
I cannot figure out what the difference between the 2 pages is.
The name of the field is not visible to your visitors in any case, only the label you apply to it. The label isn’t sent to the server, so anything you want to put in there – hell, make it blink if you have to – is fine. But the name of the field is absolutely critical in all cases, because that’s all that the server ever “sees”.

I changed email to Email to make it jump out more.
