Hi,
I am trying to put the 'Mailing List' on my web site. It works, up to a point! It does not Mail the information back to me, viz: Email address; name; address; city; state and zip code back to me. I understand through my reading on Java Script that this code is very picky where line breaks are concerned.
I get a blank email back to me, none of the details asked for.
I have tested this both from my site and on my computer. Where am I going astray please?
I wonder if you could help me?
The code is attached as 'lifted' out from the page, and placed exactly where, asked in the directions. I get no errors on the page, but as I said, the Email is blank apart from the subject=TJS - Mailing List.' The body is totaly blank!
I am a senior who runs the web site for my Ferret Group.
Thank you in anticapation for you valued help and thanks for the code on your site, it is very help and instructive.
Yours
D'oh
