Hi. I want to paste this code into an email and let a recipient reply using the fields supplied. Every way I try to do it though results in seeing the code instead of the form. Is there anyone that can help this novice?

Um... right off the bat, your form opening and closing tags are backwards ( opening where closing should be and vice-versa).

Yep, just did a quick copy and paste and looks good. In future you might want to use BB code to submit code issues here, easier to read but that just popped out at me.

Seems it's already been answered,but I'd like to second the suggestion about using BB code,it would be a lot easier indeed!

dunno what that is....give you an idea of where i'm at? lol


This is a good form right? how do I connect it to the server to make it work though? I am a godaddy user but already have form mail tied up with a main contact form on a website. I'm told by them I'd have to have another domain to get another form mail. That's silly to me, but this is why I'm trying to do it ...manually?
