"Submit" does not work in Internet Explorer

taintedhumor 14 Jun, 2007
My form works fine in Firefox and Opera. The submit button doesn't work in Internet Explorer. I'm not using Javascript. I can't figure it out.

FORM HTML

<form><table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="1" id="contactform">

Doesn't the submit button need to be within the <form> tag?

You have your </form> tag after the first input box (Name).
taintedhumor 14 Jun, 2007
You are correct, i deleted that tag but it's still not working.
kstlouis 14 Jun, 2007
Can you give me a link?
GreyHead 14 Jun, 2007
Hi,

You have a duplicated </select> tag but that shouldn't cause a problem. More seriously there are no attributes in the <form> tag so there's nothing for the form to do. It should look something like this from the Contact page here
<form name="ChronoContact_contactreal" 
method="post"
action="index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=contactreal" >


Or, if you are using this code pasted into ChronoContact then you should not have the <form> or </form> tags in there as ChronoContact adds them again and you end up with nested <form> tags.

Bob

PS Just checked the link and you do have nested tags at lines 168 and 202 on the page source.<br><br>Post edited by: GreyHead, at: 2007/06/14 01:02

Thank you. I fixed removed the form tags since the code is pasted into chronoforms. I also removed the </select> tag and STILL NOT working.

Still works fine in Firefox and Opera though...

Hi,

Please remove any form tags inside your code so any
<form or /form> MUST be removed then everything should be fine!!!

i removed all form tags.

Now it "clicks" on submit in Internet Explorer, but it just returns to the page without sending information. Firefox and Opera work fine.
taintedhumor 14 Jun, 2007

THANK YOU ALL.
