I just made a form using 3.0. Everything was fine until I added a few drop down menus to the form html.
The forms work and the data is saved but when I click the submit button and the form goes to the "submit code text" like normal I find that my site template has defaulted to rhuk_milkway.
This is not my site's template. I am using something called transparent bliss.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to make sure that drop down menus do not inadvertently change my sites template upon form submission?

When I take the drop down menu code out of the form then my site's template remains constant after form submission.

Here is the code I made in Dreamweaver.

 <table width="549" border="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="215"><strong>Choose package below:</strong></td>
      <td width="318"><strong>Choose template below</strong></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><select name="package" id="package">
        <option>Package List</option>
        <option value="copper">Copper</option>
        <option value="bronze">Bronze</option>
        <option value="silver">Silver</option>
        <option value="gold">Gold</option>
        <option value="platinum">Platinum</option>
      </select></td>
      <td><select name="template" id="template">
        <option>Template Number</option>
        <option value="#1">Template# 1</option>
        <option value="#2">Template# 2</option>
        <option value="#3">Template# 3</option>

                  </select></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <br />
  <p><strong>Photo Gallery</strong></p>
  <table width="368" border="0">
    <tr>
      <td><strong> Choose Photgallery package</strong></td>

      </select></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <br />
<table width="533" border="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="1"> </td>
      <td width="376"><div align="right"><strong>ANY ADDITIONAL IMAGES/FILES? <br />
        UPLOAD HERE</strong></div></td>
      <td width="142"><div align="right">
          <input name="Upload" type="file" id="Upload" size="10" />
      </div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3"><div align="right">
          <input type="submit" name="Send" id="Send" value="Submit" />
      </div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>

try to change the dropdown called "template" to "template1" or anything else other than template because I think "template" is a joomla variable!

Yes I realised that soon afterwards.

I had this same problem using the word "logo" which made the form spread out all over the page.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know there were certain trigger words to be careful of.
