I removed those two blocks of code, and when I saved it - Dreamweaver warned me that there was a SPRY Validation code that was referencing a widget that is no longer there - so it says I need to remove it in order for the page to validate properly. So I removed the code that it pointed me to - which was this:
var sprytextfield3 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield3", "none", {validateOn:["blur"], minChars:5, maxChars:5});
And now the contact page will not let me submit a message. It asks the security question, but when I answer it correctly, it won't accept it. (tried many times). So I put that sprytextfield3 code back in, and tried it, and it does the same thing.
So I don't know what I removed to make this not work, but it's not working.
Here's the code - and this version is at the state after following your instructions. (removed the code you told me to, but not the spry text dw told me to). Can you look at it? Thanks
