I created this form using the Freeway Tutorial and php validate form action suite a month ago and it validated fine on our test site.
The clients website went live today and now it is not validating at all. I’ve spent 8 hours on this today and I cannot for the life of me see what has made the difference. The test site was hosted by Dreamhost, and the client’s site is hosted by Dreamhost, so it was only a matter of uploading it to the new domain.
I also created a contact form on the new website and that is validating just fine:
The only difference between the two really is that the contact page won’t work if I switch it to .php and the resume page won’t work if I switch it to .html
Craziness! At this point I have been staring at it tooo tooo long. Anyone with fresh eyes and a kind heart want to help a poor soul out? lol.
You have a zillion and one JavaScript errors on the PHP page. You have no errors on the HTML page. The only difference I can see between them is that the error-checking JavaScript in the head of the page is all on one line in the page that doesn’t work, and broken neatly into multiple lines on the other. Look in your Document Setup for both pages, and confirm that you have the same settings for Output: Line feeds. That’s the only way these two could behave this differently from one another.

I checked what you said in the page setup and they both are the same. Output: Line Feeds is Unix. Everything else is exactly the same as well. Not sure how to go about looking at the heading and the string in the head you mentioned.
I switched the page to .html and it is still doing the exact same thing- not validating and just sending the form through.
