Basic Formmail Question

[klitland]

I've run into this before but can't remember the answer.[nbsp][nbsp]My formmail script returns with "...submitted by () on Friday, March 17, 2000... Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

Have you defined the Name imput and made it required?

Name:[nbsp][nbsp]<input type=text name=&quot;realname&quot;>
<input type=hidden name=&quot;required&quot; value=&quot;email,realname&quot;>

(May differ depending on the formmail script you are using)

Disappear

Thanks for the reply.[nbsp][nbsp]Interestingly enough my library (I'm a librarian) has one form that works fine.[nbsp][nbsp]I've poured over both sets of code and have worked with formmail in the past but I can't see the error.[nbsp][nbsp]Here's the script:

--------------------------
<form METHOD=POST ACTION=&quot;../../cgi-bin/FormMail.pl&quot;>

<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=&quot;recipient&quot; VALUE=&quot;jpbref@starbase1.htls.lib.il.us&quot;>

<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=&quot;required&quot; VALUE=&quot;e-mail-1,phone&quot;>

<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=&quot;redirect&quot;

VALUE=&quot;http://www.joliet.lib.il.us/answers3.html&quot;>

<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=&quot;missing_fields_redirect&quot;

VALUE=&quot;http://www.joliet.lib.il.us/answers2.html&quot;>

<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=&quot;env_report&quot;

VALUE=&quot;REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT&quot;>
--------------------------------

I think the problem might lie with the &quot;email-1&quot; value.[nbsp][nbsp]Should it just be &quot;email&quot;?[nbsp][nbsp]The person who put the form together just left us.

Is it the name or email that's not showing up in the () ?[nbsp][nbsp]Which ever one it is, making sure the name for that input area is the same as the name entered in the &quot;required&quot; field.[nbsp][nbsp]I imagine e-mail-1 would work, as long as it fits this criteria.
