Form submit button not working

[mattym]

Hi all,

I have a lengthy online job application form I have created. Unfortunately now I have done the main part and come to test it it doesn't appear to work.

When i click the Submit button absolutely nothing happens at all. It is supposed to use a cgi script to process the form and create a formatted email to the recipient, then redirect to a acknowledgement page.

Here (http://www.mamoo.co.uk) is a link to the form itself.

Any help would be appreciated as I just cannot see anything wrong!

many thanks

Matt

Maybe the ONSUBMIT="" in the form is causing problems with your browser?

It still doesn't work for me. I have had other people try it on different machines and it won't work for them either????

I just can't see a reason why it won't work? Any ideas?

Oh, I've taken out the ONSUBMIT

thanks

I can think of a couple of reasons...

First have you ensured that public read and execute rights have been allowed on the cgi-bin folder???

Second, you might try adding a method attribute:


<FORM NAME="form 1" METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.thisisyork.co.uk/cgi-bin/formmail.pl">


Edited: After adding the method attribute I was able to successfully submit and run the perl script... ;)

HTH,

Hi there,

Thanks for this. You are right that made the form submit and I received the email from the perl script too.

Only problem that I had was that after the form had submitted the browser tried to display the pearl script (http://www.thisisyork.co.uk/cgi-bin/formmail.pl) instead of redirecting to the thankyou page. Hmmmm.

If anyone has any idea why that would be cool

thanks again

Have you tried it on another machine??? Most likely if you are logged onto the server locally or logged in with some sort of elevated rights, it will look like you are accessing the perl script... When I ran it I didn't have any problems... Another thing to consider is that it may be a local setting on the machine you used... When I went to the link that you provided for the perl script this is what I got:

Bad Referrer - Access Denied
The form attempting to use FormMail resides at http://www.codingforums.com/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=31279, which is not allowed to access this cgi script.
If you are attempting to configure FormMail to run with this form, please contact your FormMail administrator, telling them you need it to work for 'www.codingforums.com'.
