Hi;

I'm using matt's script archive for formmail. Here's the links:

http://www.timemachinewatch.com/email.html (ORDER LINK...does NOT work with FF only IE)


http://www.timemachinewatch.com/request.htm (REQUEST LINK...DOES work with FF)



One page (SEE LINK ABOVE) (REQUEST) works fine, the link above (ORDER) will not. Both are almost identical, and formmail is the same code on BOTH This just happened abt a month ago, was always working with FF last 10 years

CLICK THE LINKS ABOVE. THEN HIT THE "SEND" BUTTON ON PAGE. See if you guys can submit it with FF on order link or hopefully offer a solution. You can right click the page for page source to see the code.

No I am NOT going to update the FF Browser...been there, done that, FF 14.0 works fine for me and I am keeping it. Not an update issue here as neither would work otherwise

Here's hoping! Thanks in advance

There are problems with nesting tags on the email page and Firefox closes the form tag before the actual input fields start (only the hidden input fields are in the form), so the submit button isn't part of the form You can see that with the built-in Inspector.

You can see in the page source a lot of tags marked in red to indicate that there is a problem with them and you need to check the code and make sure to close all tags in the order that they are opened.
