Re: redesigned site

Wrong Forum, but if you haven't yet done so, you should download Blue Voda Website Builder for FREE so you too, can build the website of your dreams yourself!

(We all did our own, and are still amazed at how easy it was and how much fun we are still having being our own "webmasters'!)

Re: redesigned site

Hi sm,

Your site is looking good ...just one little thing that I would change or include.... either a back button on your actual pages .. or a navigation bar on every page ...as some pages all I had was the back browser button above the website page....and on others had to close the page down to go elsewhere.....I'm a click and go person lol...if its not easy to navigate I would have clicked off and gone elsewhere ....:o)

Well done though ...nice job

Re: redesigned site

How do I change the action to php script?

Double click on the dotted part of your form and the properties should open.
then set the "ACTION" to the name of your php script.

if you still have problems, email me your php script.

have fun

Re: redesigned site

Ok, I think this is going to a bit complicated. I don't think I have a php script, and if I do I have no clue where it's located. Per the tutorial, what I have on there right now is mailto:smcatering@bellsouth.net
Apparently, this is not working. It's time to call the calvary...

PS Thanks for the SE tip. I am going to change that ASAP!

Re: redesigned site

Re: redesigned site

oops........ you have removed the form from your website.....
either put it back as it was(you will still get mail) or else
send me your contact.bvp page as an attachment.......

[smcatering]

Re: redesigned site

It's back up and I emailed my request page in .bvp as you requested. I am still having a problem. Even with all the fields filled out, it redirects to the error page saying that I need to enter a name in the name field. I'm sure it's a matter of checking the script and making some minor adjustment, but I am not a code writer, therefore I would not know what to change/fix.
Thanks for all the help.

First change the Name field on your form to name (small n)
second
try the amended code(above)....you had 2 $name fields where the 2nd one was for the $gcount field...you also had space bewtween 2 of the lines.

Re: redesigned site

Hey David,
To say that you ARE the calvary is a gross understatement. I tried all kinds of different ways with the purpose of getting error messages to make sure it all works, and everything seems to have checked out. Give it a shot just to make sure and let me know if you find anything out of the norm.

Thanks a million!!!!

Mike
