#contactform fieldset {
border: 1px solid #666;
width: 400px;
}

which will control the colour and the width.

Moving the fields is fine. Changing the PHP will cause it to stop working. Have you tried the basic original file again to see if that works for you? If it does then obviously a change you've made has caused the problem. If it doesn't then possibly it's missing something that your hosting requires in the code.

My guess is the original will probably work if it's set up correctly, so I'd need to see the code you're now using to see what's wrong with it.

I just found your great blog…and this script.

I've got everything to work..and added a field.
Got the form pasted over some graphics background I wanted..and moved the fields around a bit…and maybe that's the problem.?

The script takes the entries, gives me the TY page…but I never receive notification back that a message was written.
I have the host email set to forward message back to personal email. T

he email address DOES work on its own…had the host check for problems. There are none.
So…I just can't get the email to notify me of a message received by forwarded mail.
It's not server side per the host…and again, the email forward works outside of the script.

Any ideas? I've been beating my head against the wall all day on this.

And CONGRATUALTIONS! on your recent marriage!

Thanks ever so much…this looks to be such a terrific script.

I got it to work by pasting all the code into my HTML page (later renamed as a .php page) at the point you indicate (ie. comment saying 'insert your header or link to a header include here'), but at that point the form showed up below my CSS styled page.

I got it to work by cutting and pasting just the form ID (ie. <form id= ….etc.) and inserting where I wanted in my page. Yes worked!

Thanks for the tip on PHP includes which I will look into.

Thanks for the form. I like it as you showed me how to edit it to add new fields, and I learned a little more about php.

Thanks again!

The form is PHP and is virtually a self contained page, you just need to either add the HTML code for your header and footer around it, or put them into PHP includes and include them into the page.

I wouldn't try merging this in Dreamweaver as it's a manually written page and Dreamweaver will most likely change something and prevent the form from working.

Just above the form I have a comment saying 'insert your header or link to a header include here' and the same at the bottom for the footer. Put the relevant HTML that is required for the page layout/design at these two points and save it as contact.php (or something similar) and then it should be fine.

I appreciate all your work and the clear instructions you have provided.

The only area I am tripping up is how to add the contact-form.php to my html file.

I tried bringing the contact form in via an iFrame and that worked, but I can't style the text.

In Dreamweaver I also tried Insert/Form/Method-Post/Action-Browsed and choose the contact-form.php form, but that didn't work either.

There has to be simple HTML coding in the Dreamweaver HTML file, to bring in the form, but I cant find it.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

Do you get the form results? Have you modified the top variables to add your email address in? It looks like it's working so without knowing what is and isn't working I can't suggest much more

I'm so so with html and CSS but PHP is totally new. Any help to point me in the right direction would be great.
