Hi,
I have just finished designing my website and am having a major problem with my contact form. I'm not an advanced designer, more like a beginner!
So because I didn't feel confident in designing my own form, I decided to use Mail Maniac free form designer as it offered automatic forwarding to my mailbox. Code is pasted at the bottom!
The form worked really well in IE but in Safari and Firefox users could not write in the text boxes. I'm really puzzled as to why this has happened, so I decided to design my own form using the tools that came with CoffeeCup HTML Editor, which I have been using to write the website. This form again looked good in IE but in Firefox and Safari just displayed as 'form object'.
I am completely puzzled and really don't have the knowledge to fix this problem. Can anyone help?
Oh, if it matters...our web host is storminternet.co.uk, Linux basic package which has PHP, CGI etc supported.
Thanks for any help!
