Form not working

ref: http://www.west5web.co.uk/contact

the form at the above URL won't send and validation won't work

Joomla template is from Gavick Pro which I haven't used for ages. Could there be a conflict with the template?

Thanks, paul

Hi Paul,

It looks to me as if the MooTools JavaScript Library which CFv4 uses is not being loaded. MooTools was the standard library in Joomla! 1 & 2 but has been dropped in v3 in favour of jQuery.

You can load it in Joomla! 3 using the jQueryEasy extension or the code in this FAQ

There may still be a problem with the form not submitting - this FAQ may help with that.

Hi

thanks Bob

I loaded JQueryEasy but the problem persists.

Ive used CFv4 on other Joomla 3 sites which was what made me think the porblem was with the template.

Am I better using CFv5?

Paul

Hi Paul,

If you check your browser Web Developer tools you'll see that JQuery UI isn't loading.
[list]http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9/jquery-ui.min.js
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9/themes/base/jquery-ui.css
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)[/list]

And yes, if this is a new form or site you'd be better using CFv5 in Joomla! 3

hi Bob

I hadn't realised that enabling/disabling mootools was a setting in the Gavick template. I enabled this and jquery but still not working.

Anyway, I'll gibe CFv5 a go

Hi Paul,

I just spotted that http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9/jquery-ui.min.js is missing the sub-version setting - you can add this in jQueryEasy
