Can anyone help me with this Email Form on my contact page. I have been working on this on and off for 2 months and nothing I do seems to work.
I see other people doing it so it must be possible.

I had everything working and then attempted to center the form and now some of the html appears in the message window.

The form is from Emailmeform.com

What can I do to get this to work?

I would retype this part in notepad. This is where the html is going b0nkers.
Might be an illegal character in there and everything in your html is jumping
out of html mode.
&lt; = <
&gt; = >

<textarea name="FieldData3" cols="50" rows="10">&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;

<textarea name="FieldData3" cols="50" rows="10">
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
</center>

Allen that is what I have in there which includes those changes. Something must be messing up the code after I put it in.

I slamed that html in a description box and got the same thing you did.
Yours looks good now.

May I piggy back on this thread since I used the same form generator?

I'm going a bit nuts trying to figure out why mine won't work. I started with an html only page, just like the OP, but then did some digging here and found I might solve my issues using a photo in journal style and putting the html code in the caption (rather than in the gallery description). (Didn't work, but that's why I'm currently where I am.)

Any time I try to add html, it always wants to float up at the left corner. I must have something turned off that's forcing it there or something.

This would be the gallery with the code putting the form in the wrong place : http://saltygrapes.smugmug.com/gallery/3718524/

How can I get the form to be in the middle of the page like everyone else's? :rofl

This would be the code I keep trying to use and it looks fine to me (but of course I'm no expert.) :scratch

I just tried your code in the album description and it worked. So try it in
the album description.

I don't get it. It must be me. I put it in the description and it's still doing the same thing, showing up in the upper left corner on top of everything. :dunno And it's this way on two PCs and IE7 and FF for me. :rofl

And I actually pasted the code from my post... wacky?
