Hi, Does anyone know how to make the following code for a form work?
<form action="" id="form">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="height:100%;">
<tr><td valign="top" style="padding:5px 0px 0px 1px;"><img src="images/title_5_2.gif" width="81" height="13" alt="" style="margin:0px 0px 19px 0px; "></td>
</tr>
<tr><td><input name="Your Name:" type="text" id="Your Name:" value="Your Name:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="E-Mail:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Phone:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Fax:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><textarea rows="3" cols="3">Comments:</textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6px 0px 0px 0px; " height="100%" align="right">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td nowrap valign="top" class="more"><a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('form').reset()">reset</a><img src="images/marker_more.gif" width="3" height="8" alt="" align="middle" hspace="6"></td>
<td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="21" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td nowrap valign="top"align="right" class="more"><a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('form').submit()">submit</a><img src="images/marker_more.gif" width="3" height="8" alt="" align="middle" hspace="6"></td>

umm you dont have the method attribute in forme should look like this with it
<form action="" id="form" method="post">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="height:100%;">
<tr><td valign="top" style="padding:5px 0px 0px 1px;"><img src="images/title_5_2.gif" width="81" height="13" alt="" style="margin:0px 0px 19px 0px; "></td>
</tr>
<tr><td><input name="Your Name:" type="text" id="Your Name:" value="Your Name:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="E-Mail:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Phone:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Fax:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><textarea rows="3" cols="3">Comments:</textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6px 0px 0px 0px; " height="100%" align="right">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td nowrap valign="top" class="more"><a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('form').reset()">reset</a><img src="images/marker_more.gif" width="3" height="8" alt="" align="middle" hspace="6"></td>
<td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="21" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td nowrap valign="top"align="right" class="more"><a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('form').submit()">submit</a><img src="images/marker_more.gif" width="3" height="8" alt="" align="middle" hspace="6"></td>

There is a few things that you need to address within your code.
First off, you don't have a script to call on. I'm not sure if you left this blank for a reason, or what.
<form action="" id="form">
<form action="ENTER SCRIPT NAME HERE" id="form">
Another thing is that you don't have a name field for any of your <INPUT>'s.
<tr><td><input name="Your Name:" type="text" id="Your Name:" value="Your Name:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="E-Mail:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Phone:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Fax:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><textarea rows="3" cols="3">Comments:</textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="name" type="text" id="Your Name:" value="Your Name:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="E-Mail:" name="email"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Phone:" name="phone"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" value="Fax:" name="fax"></td></tr>
<tr><td><textarea rows="3" cols="3" name="comments">Comments:</textarea></td></tr>
Well, Ryan, I hope that gets you off to a good start. I'd also recommend cleaning up your code a bit.
Well... Ciao.

It didnt help completely but it helped me remember to put that in... i was forgetting that so i guess then it did help and what im trying to say is that that wasnt the only problem lol... here is my code now.
<form method="post" action="mailto:rjs2006@wi.rr.com" id="contactform">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="height:100%;">
<tr><td height="38" valign="top" style="padding:5px 0px 0px 1px;"><div align="center"><img src="images/title_5_2.gif" alt="" style="margin:0px 0px 19px 0px; "></div></td>
</tr>
<tr><td><input name="name" type="text" id="Your Name:" value="Your Name:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="eamil" type="text" id="E-Mail" value="E-Mail:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="phone" type="text" id="Phone" value="Phone:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="fax" type="text" id="Fax" value="Fax:"></td></tr>
<tr><td><textarea rows="3" cols="3" name="comments">Comments:</textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6px 0px 0px 0px; " height="100%" align="right">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td nowrap valign="top" class="more"><a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('form').reset()"> reset</a><img src="images/marker_more.gif" width="3" height="8" alt="" align="middle" hspace="6"></td>
<td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="21" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td nowrap valign="top"align="right" class="more"><a href="rjs2006@wi.rr.com" onClick="document.getElementById('form').submit()" >submit</a><img src="images/marker_more.gif" width="3" height="8" alt="" align="middle" hspace="6"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
I also played around with the submit button, but to no avail...
<a href="rjs2006@wi.rr.com" onClick="document.getElementById('form').submit()" >submit</a>
This form kinda stinks because I didnt make it, it came with a template that I bought and am trying to edit... otherwise i would be able to just create one from scratch but murphy's law wont allow it.

any other suggestions? this is a pain in the keister lol...
You could use a php one
<form method="post" action="process.php"><input type="text" value="Name" id="name" name="name" /><br />
<input type="text" value="Email" id="email" name="email" /><br />
<input type="text" value="URL" id="url" name="url" /><br />
<textarea id="comments" name="comments"> Comments </textarea></form>
That goes on your page that you want the form.
And then you need this
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$recipient = "your email";
$subject = "subject here";
$message = "Name: $name \n";
$message .= "E-mail: $email \n";
$message .= "URL: $url \n";
$message .= "Comments: $comments \n\n";
$headers = "From: My Form \n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email";
mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>
Just change the email and subject, and make sure that you name it as process.php.
