[SOLVED] Weird Problem with Form in IE

[Jack Franklin]

Hi Guys,

Attempting to create a contact form and having a very weird problem. In IE, the text area called 'name' cannot be clicked on, so therefore people can't fill it out, but it works fine in Firefox. Could someone please see if it is my PC or IE in general please. The address is http://www.jackfranklin.co.uk/contact.php


Here is the code:

Code: Select all

 
<form method="post" action="contact_form_response.php">
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Name:</span><br /><input name="name" type="text" size="50" maxlength="200" /><br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Email:</span><br /><input name="email" type="text" size="50" maxlength="200" />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Comments:</span><textarea name="message" cols="50" rows="2"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="Submit" />
</form>

And the contact_form_response.php...

Code: Select all

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Validation
if(3 < strlen($name) && 3 < strlen($email) && 3 < strlen($message))
{
$email_message = <<< EMAIL
Message from websites contact form.
Name: $name
Email:$email
The message:
$message
EMAIL;
 
$headers = "cc:you@your_alternate_address.com\r\n"; 
 
 if(mail('jack@jackfranklin.co.uk','Contact form email', $email_message))
 {
  echo "Your email has been delivered, we will contact you shortly."; 
 }
 else 
 {
  echo "We had a problem sending the email.";
 }
 
 
}
else
{
  echo "You did not fill in the form properly. Please use the browser's 'back' button and update the form."; 
}
 
 
?>

Any ideas?

PS - I know that in FF the form displays over the top of the image.

Ok, sorry for the waste of a thread, as I have now fixed the issue. It appears that IE does not like the form to be inside a <p> tag, and that was what caused the problem. Problem fixed.

Yes, if you try validating your code it may point out these errors for you.
Mark this thread as solved?
