CSS STYLE Sheet

I created a new page, selected it from the CSS STYLE SHEETL Submit Form.
I hope you know what the submit form is....it suppose to be when someone
leaves a comment on your website

well if you look at my site: www.gamebliss.net
http://www.gamebliss.net/mainpage.html for the right page
when I click on submit...how do I make the message to come up

thanks

I can't find a valid form tag on your page .. I see the input fields, but no
form tag. You must have a form tag and the action of the form would be the
page with the message and other action of the submission.

i have addd the form
What should i do next Nancy


thanks:P

You have this:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<br />
</form>

and then your input fields are below that.
First .. move the closing form tag below the submit button. Think of the
form tag as a container. If the fields are not in the container, they will
not be carried with the container.

Next, you have to have something as the action of your form. If you are
submitting the information to a database, you would have an Insert Record
behavior on your page to put the information in the database. If you are
sending the information via email, you would have email code on your next
page that would send email by whatever component you are using. This page
is html .. how are you sending mail, if that is what you are doing?

That same second page could display a thank you message which is just html
... but the real work is processing the information submitted in the form.

Make sense?

The first part make sense. Whereas I have to put the closing form after the
submit button

But I am not using the form has an email...I am using it as a form, where
people leave a commet about something

I am not sure we understand what you want to do or even if you do.

When someone fills in a form and clicks the submit button, that information
is sent to the server and a new page or the same page that holds the FORM.
Typically in ASP, PHP, etc. the processing is in a new page, occassionaly in
the same page as the FORM (but that makes for complex pages). In the
receiving page you check the validity of what the visitor filled in and then
process it and do something with the infromation. The point being is that
you tell the computers what to do with the visitor's input.

It sounds a bit like you are trying to write a blog. There is software for
that to make it easy.

Whatever the case, you have to take the users' input and do something with
it. THe form only facilitates the input and collection.

You could use a bravenet form wizard. www.bravenet.com

Thanks for your help

I won't worry too much about the damn form

Cold Fusion, CSS Style. PhP..all confusing:/

Bravenet is good sometimes..but then again, they suck:P
