Problems with Contact Form

Hi
I m struggling to make my contact form work and wondered if you could help me.

The form has two field (one hidden) that populate from a recordset and work fine.

I have also added another e-mail field to make sure users enter their e-mail address correctly using the 'like Entry' server behaviour but that doesn’t work.

I use only the graphic captcha and unfortunately doesn’t work: a user can type anything in the box and the form is being submitted..
Please see attached the contact/thank you files..
any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

there are a number of things i see wrong with the way this form is set up.

first, the number one rule when working with forms is to understand that all form processing _must_ happen on the forms action page.

in this case, the form tag:
<form class="Basic_Default" id="ultra_Basic_Default" name="ultra_Basic_Default" method="post" action="thanks.php">

has the action set to the thanks.php page:
action="thanks.php"

this means that any server behaviors that process the form need to be on that page.

the Universal email behavior is correctly on that page, but you have added the server validation to the form page.

The server validation must be on the action page in order for it to work

also, you mention that the captcha validation does not work, but there is no captcha validation applied.

the server validation only has one setting in it, the like entry setting for the email address.


I would suggest recreating the form using form builder, leave the action to it's default setting which will be to post to itself.

In the form builder settings, you add the like entry for the email address and the captcha to have those automatically added to the page.

after the age has been created, you can edit the UE server behavior to change the redirect so that it goes to the thank you page after sending the email.

That worked fine thank you very much..

How do I go about having a warning that e-mail fields do not much so the user knows why the form wasn't submitted?

if you use server validation with the like entry, you can use the AValidation show if behavior to show an error,

Thank you.. I m up an running now..
