Hello professional web geniuses.
I just built a website for the first time (actually its the third attempt after getting some much needed tips on design) my site has a "Free Consultation" button that leads the potential client to a form. www.fighttheticket.ca
I have two problems with the form.
1. It does not send the information to the email address that I though I programmed it to go to.
2. After the potential client fills out the form and hits "Submit" it goes to a 404 page not found page.
I really am at my wits end. Ive tried changing the properties as well as other fixes but nothing seems to work.
I would pay someone to help but, quite frankly I am broke! (Im just starting the business)
Can anyone offer some advice that can make me sane again?
Thank you in advance.

1 & 2 do you have a page with serverside code that sends the email?

Hi Mark,

What did you use to create that form? There is an awful lot of unnecessary markup in there. I don't know where to begin debugging it!

All you need is a simple <form> tag, containing an "action" parameter set to your server-side script URL. See here for more info: http://www.elated.com/articles/html-forms/

You can find some great form-to-email server-side scripts here: http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/form-processors/

You may also like to use my Ajax contact form as the basis for your form - it comes with a server-side script: http://www.elated.com/articles/slick-ajax-contact-form-jquery-php/

Hope that helps!
