@cs3mwMay 13.2008 — Without seeing your script for checkform() it is rather difficult to work out, however, in your form tag I would change

[code=html]<form name="frm" method="post" action="contact-thanks.php" onsubmit="return checkform();">[/code]

to

[code=html]<form name="frm" method="post" action="contact-thanks.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);">[/code]

Note the (this) in your function call.

However if this doesnt work post your javascript function and I will take a look!!

P.S Like the site alot!! Great design!

@cs3mwMay 13.2008 — A couple of things stand out firstly close your form in your Contact page! And then secondly if you leave your form tag as

[code=html]<form name="frm" method="post" action="contact-thanks.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);">[/code]

and then have your javascript as

[CODE]function checkform(form) {
msg = "";

if (form.fname.value == "") msg = msg + "- First namen";
if (!emailcheck(form.email.value)) msg = msg + "- Valid email addressn";
if (form.message.value == "") msg = msg + "- Messagen";


if (msg!="")
{
alert ("Please complete the following:rn"+msg);
return false;
}
}[/CODE]

Then I would expect that to work. Defintely close your form first then if that doesnt work change the javascript. I havent had chance to check this works or havent had a look at your emailcheck but I think that the closing of the form should work!!

Hope it helps!!!

@leighchicauthorMay 13.2008 — I have closed my form. hmm...

very strange - code in dreamweaver gives me no errors, but the red lines that usually appear when form is there are not displaying. I have redone it various times.

I tried changes in javascript but that makes no changes.

@cs3mwMay 13.2008 — Could you email me across the style sheet please so that I can upload it on my test server! I will then be able to do error checking i.e. create an alert box when the form is submitted etc!! Regards

Mike
