Help with Forms; Question Two

[HansR]

I seem to have having a problem similar to Michelle. We had reports of GoLive generated forms crashing and so I hardcoded them. Upon validation, the errors logged are; spacers not containing ALT tags (I've since singed on to CSS, but regardless, this should not cause the form to crash.) I have tested it many times from several locations and the tests always work. Yet, I've have had many complains from those using the forms of them crashing. I've been advised to use a form handeling service, but I'd rather solve the problem internally. Can anyone check this code and help?http://www.blanchardroad.org/Missions/short_app.html thanks! HansR

Hi HansR

That's one big form! I had a very quick scan of it and can't see anything obviously wrong except that you've used the mailto action on your form. This is generally a bad idea because using this action requires the person who is using your form to have an email client correctly installed on their computer. This may be causing the problem
