Hi there--

I have a form at
http://www.otterygroup.com/Forms/TestForm.htm

A valid email is configured in the recipient line
<INPUT type=hidden name="recipient" value="info@otterygroup.com">

And the email input looks ok (I tried it with and without the id attribute)
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" maxlength="35" tabindex=11>

But I'm still getting the Invalid Email Address error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Steve

Steve,

From your Form action line try removing ' enctype="text/plain" ' and see if the form then works.

Good Deal :)

Just as an aside when working with any forms it usually is best to start with the basic setup as provided by the form generator or sample that comes with many third party scripts, install it, test it and then make changes slowly and test after each change.

That way if something breaks you can revert the last change and come at it from another angle.
