Need help submitting a form

awkward_clam · November 29, 2010

Hey I'm really new at this so I hired someone to help me make a nice form, but it doesn't send it to my email and now he has gone MIA.

Here is the site in question:

www.yourvancouvermortgagebroker.ca

The application has 5 pages, with the 6th being a summary. I need that summary to be sent when the user clicks "submit".

Please give this noob some detailed instructions as my head is about to asplode.

I have a custom .js file that I am using, there is also a bluemail script which might help, but obviously I am implementing something wrong.

Thanks!!!!

We need to see the code and besides that, this isn't a regex question.

I've tentatively moved this to PHP Coding Help, but you're going to need to post the relevant code . . .

So points of interest:

//step 6

$('#submit_sixth').click(function(){

//send information to server

alert('Thanks');

});

What do I change? I'm so bad at this, going to the library today to take out a book. thx

Step 6 isn't sending anything. It's just alerting the user with "Thanks".

Try changing the line with the <form.... to this (to give your form a name):

<form name="myform" action="http://www.bluehost.com/bluemail" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">

and changing step six to this (to tell it send the form):



//step 6
    $('#submit_sixth').click(function(){
        //send information to server
        alert('Thanks');
        document.myform.submit();
    });

</table>

</div>

<div class="clear"></div>

</div>

apply.js

....

//step 6

//send information to server alert('Thanks'); document.myform.submit(); });

Only showing an alert box when I click submit

});

Yes, try that. Is your form on the page http://www.yourvancouvermortgagebroker.ca/apply? I was just looking at it.

Yeah that's it. I already updated the code you gave but I haven't noticed any changes.

I really appreciate your help.

Well looking at the source code for that url (http://www.yourvancouvermortgagebroker.ca/apply), it looks like you didnt add the form name.

You, sir, are a baby angel.

Thank You so much, made my day. That would have taken me so long to figure out just reading through forums.
