My email form is not working

by garryg11 - 5/13/09 1:52 AM

I need help figuring out why my sample email form mail is not working. I'm creating a very sample website with a iframes. The iframes contained the email forms with send button and I have also included the hidden fields in each form.

2. I installed the formmail.cgi right from hosting company control panel.

3. Here is my website: http://phatcrocs.com/signup.html - Can you take a look at the forms and please let me know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks everyone.

1. Is your path to formmail.pl correct?
2. I would use a different form if you can, because your email is exposed in the code. Any crawler will pick it up and you'll get spam in no time.
3. Are none of the fields required? You could use jquery and the validator plugin to add at least client side validation.
