Form Help, Please

If someone could help me identify the problem I'm having with a form, I'd be
very appreciative.
Please talk to me in newbie language.

Both forms are on the same website so if one works, the other should. I'm
stumped.

This form works:

http://www.jobird.com/hearts.htm

This form does not work (and, I want the "Submit" button to say "Submit
Order", not "Submit Query":

http://www.jobird.com/cd/gardenkinderorder.html

Thank you for taking the time.

Thank you,

for trying the forms and providing some clues. I will follow-up and report
back.

What does work is one form posts an email to me for the order.

What doesn't work is the other form takes the user to an Earthlink page
telling them that the ISP doesn't support the cgi-bin activity. But we
already know it does.

Thanks for asking.

This form works:

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailto" METHOD="POST">

This form does not work

http://www.jobird.com/cd/gardenkinderorder.html

<form action="http://www.jobird.com/cgi-bin/mailto" method="post" >

Have you tried changing the action to "../cgi-bin/mailto"? The server may
have problems mapping the location of the script, thereby throwing an
error.

(and, I want the "Submit" button to say "Submit
Order", not "Submit Query":

Then change <input type="submit" name="Submit Order" > to
<input type="submit" VALUE="Submit Order"> (case does not matter unless you
are using XHTML, which you are not)

You should look at some tutorials on how form work. You should also
validate your markup.
