Need help with form

[grandjuke]

Have created form and named it "contact" with url http://www.gobantayan.com/contact.html getting error 404 site not found so cannot even test if page is working, any ideas please. My website http://www.gobantayan.com link for "contact me" only on index page at moment

Re: Need help with form

Make sure that the spelling is correct in the link. If you used Contact, contact me, etc... it will not link to it as the spelling is different.

Make sure that you have published the page to the server. If you are trying it in preview- it will not work.

Re: Need help with form

You have to check on the server because the page is not showing up. Use the FTP Manager and see if it is indeed loaded onto the server.

Re: Need help with form

Hi Andy have re published both my contact page and action page and still nothing. Went to FTP Manager but to be honest have not got a clue what I am looking for.

How excactly is your form page saved (and published) ? There is contact.html page in your site. please provide the link to the form

Re: Need help with form

I did find your page, you have published it as php instead of html: it is in http://www.gobantayan.com/contact.php . Also, the textarea exceeds the form area, so you need to stretch the form area to include the text area (comments) . Then change the page properties of the form page to be published as html, Save, re-publish, and refresh before testing.

OK Naveldesign I shall get to work on that. Very new to all this as you can probably tell so don't understand how I published to php I just clicked on publish in the nav.bar as I did for all my other pages with no problem. Many thanks and stand by I may need you again.

Re: Need help with form

YES!!!!! it all works fine.Sent myself email with comments all O.K. will now have to dress the page. Re publishing to php I looked again at tutorials and obviously got confused as it is only the "Thank You " page that you publish to php Many thanks again.
