Hi! I need help editing this script to allow a sender name field in the e-mail instead of just sender name!

Thanks so much!

The script is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center"><font color="#FF6600" size="5">You can now send

Hi beahare,

Welcome to TSG !

I'm not a HTML expert but I guess the problem is probably caused by the insertion of a @ character inside an input text.
You may solve this problem with 2 separate input texts : the first for the left part of the email adress and the second for the part after the @ character.

Code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Mail" />
</font></p>
</form>
</body>

</html>

Also, if you are opting for that solution, don't forget to adapt the action mail.php.
