Form Action Not Working

[caherner987]

I have 3 forms, form1.php, form2.php, form3.php...and I have three PHP pages to process each form, process1.php, process2.php, process3.php.
 
No matter what I put in the form action="process3.php" ...all three forms get processed by process1.php.  Any idea why the forms are processed by the first one?

 

The form part of FORM1.PHP:

           <form action="" method="get" id="contactForm" >
            	<table width="630" border="0" align="center">
                  <tr>
                    <td width="180" id="firstName">First Name<sup>*</sup></td>
                    <td><input name="first_name" type="text" id="firstNameVal" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr>
                    <td id="lastName">Last Name<sup>*</sup></td>
                    <td><input name="last_name" type="text" id="lastNameVal" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr>
                    <td>Home Phone</td>
                    <td><input name="home_phone" id="phone" type="text" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr>
                    <td>Cell Phone</td>
                    <td><input name="cell_phone" id="cellphone" type="text" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr>
                    <td id="email1">Email Address<sup>*</sup></td>
                    <td><input name="email1" id="emailVal1" type="text" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                  </tr>
                   <tr>

                    <td><input name="email2" id="emailVal2" type="text" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                    <td>Requested Property</td>
                    <td><input name="requested_property" type="text" value="" size="60" maxlength="50" /></td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                   	<td valign="top">Comments</td>
                    <td><textarea name="comments" cols="53" rows="15"></textarea></td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>

                      </div>
                      <div id="success" style="padding: 10px;  color: #468847; background-color: #dff0d8; border-color: #d6e9c6;"><p>Thanks for your message!<br/>We will get back to you ASAP!</p></div>
                    </td>

Is there any JavaScript associated with the form? There may be some code over-ridding the action attribute.

[caherner987]

The only javascript is this bit at the bottom of the page. The rest of the page only contains include files, and these include files are straight html for the header and footer.

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.0.min.js"></script>
  <script src="js/jquery.maskedinput.min.js"></script>  
  <script src="js/custom.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
   jQuery(function($){
     $("#phone").mask("999 999 9999");
     $("#cellphone").mask("999 999 9999");
  });
  </script>

What happens if you change:

<input id="sendData" name="Submit" type="button" value="Submit" />

to 

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

Because, I don't see where is your submit type.

 

Or, if you want to use a httml button element:

<button name="button" type="submit">Click me</button>

Brilliant. Not sure how I missed that one. So much easier when I design the site from scratch, not fix someone else's errors. Thanks!
