Default What did I do wrong? - 07-26-2005 , 01:29 PM






Hi there.

I have only done a bit of HTML so you could say I am a nubee.

This used to work but I must have stuffed it up somehow :0
Would someone be so kind as to have a look at the code below and tell me
of any obvious reason why it is broken? I don't remember changing
anything with this section of code, but I did do some other stuff like
removing the odd link and graphic on other parts of the page.
I have spent hours trying to make it work again but to no avail.
So I thought I should take it to some experts.

This is on the error page that comes up after clicking the "send
message" button.

Error
Cant open template file: "F:\Content/Users//". Please check you have the
filename and path correct. Check that you have correctly entered your
username in the user field. Online help is available for this program if
you need more information.

I did read and re-read the online help and tried for ages to get it to
work before coming here.

TIA
