JHTML form not supported. File not found.

I don't understand why I am getting the following is happening...
When I click on the form link (in forms manager) I get a message in red letters on the form I just created, that says:
JHTML form not supported. File not found.

I went to Forms Management>Form Code Tab>Form HTML
I copied the following code from my text editor into the Form HTML section
First Name:
<input type="text" name="firstname" value=""><br>
Last Name:
<input type="text" name="lastname" value=""><br>
DOB:
<input type="text" name="dob" value=""><br>
<input name="submit" value="SUBMIT" type="submit">

The name of my form is Teacher_Registration.
This is the link to get to my form:
index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=Teacher_Registration

When I click submit I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JRequest::checktoken() in C:\xampp\htdocs\gcc\components\com_chronocontact\chronocontact.php on line 115

I hope this is enough information so you will be able to tell me how to fix this.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi dianaj59,

Which version of Joomal do you have? I think that the error is because you are tripping some Joomla security code that was added a few months ago.

I'm using joomla 1.5.

Hi dianaj59,

this looks very odd to me, you have a problem with the JHTML class, which J1.5 is this ? 1.5.7 ?

Cheers,

It is version 1.5.3.
Should I uninstall this and use 1.5.7?
I started using this last year and am just now returning to it.
I made good progress with the basics, so I really don't want to loose what I have.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi dianaj59,

There is an upgrade package from J1.5.3 to 1.5.7 (I think they were mainly security upgrrades). There are instructions here. Note: these are ultra-cautious about backups and testing, if it's a development site then usually you can safely ftp the patch and over-write the existing files.
