Hi there,

I have a tell-a-friend form working very well in Firefox, but IE doesn't want to know:
http://www.p-s-i.org.uk/recform.php

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure it's something quite silly, but I just can't spot it.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hey there, updw123.

What doesn't happen?
Do you receive any errors?

PHP is serverside, meaning PHP has nothing to do with what type of the browser the user is using.

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Basically it says 'error on page' on the bottom right bar, and when I press nothing happens. On FireFox it just works as normal.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

re: Form: Functional in Firefox, but not IE

This is a pure HTML problem. After going through the markup of the file, what I can understand, there are so many problems with the html code. is this page contains some copied source from another page or pages?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <body class="thrColFixHdr">
  2. <body onLoad="reset()" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> 
There are two body tags here. but that is not the only issue.

Moved to HTML forum, from Php Forum.

The issue is caused by a link <a> tag inside the <script> tag. Either remove it or move it out. You should also correct the validation errors.

You're welcome.

Don't forget to fix your HTML validation errors though.
