Hi,

I have set myself a task of getting my new website completely up and running by the new year, but I'm having a little trouble getting a form to work correctly.

Ideally I want the form to submit the info entered and send on to a specified email address but I don't want it to have to open the users email client to do so.

here's the template for the site so far.

Any help or advice on how to get the form working properly would be very much appreciated ;)

Thanks

Yeah I know about the problem with the submit button. Looks even worse in Chrome and Safari, but I intend to tweak that a little later.

The web server is my own server at work. It isn't setup for PHP as far as I'm aware but I suppose we could do if we wanted to - although I wouldn't know what I would need to do myself, but I know a man who can :)
 
What OS is the web server running?
Windows Server 2003 32bit. I will get it PHP enabled on Monday.

Yep, if possible, php would be the quickest and easiest way to do it :)
A good guide is here.

FFX renders the code with an empty div, or too big a div (double height) if you could put 'id="testdiv", inside the div so it says:
<td><div align="center" id="testdiv">
<input type="submit" name="SUBMIT" id="SUBMIT" value="Submit" />
</div></td>


it makes it easier to see (in firefox web dev toolbar) how it renders the div.

There's a line that says <table width="92%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
You could put 'height=""' into there, with a value inside the "s, may require a play around.
Excellent, I will have a play thanks. I used to be a web designer by trade (well for about a year anyway) but that was about 8 years ago so I'm a little out of touch.
Also, I find using Opera to render my websites first makes things easier. If it doesn't display in Opera properly, its going to look worse in others.
I never thought about Opera - downloading now, cheers.
 
I have another question I'm hoping to get some help with.

I want to include a box for people to put their email address if they want a e-brochure sending to them. After submitting though I want to know if it's possible to generate an auto replay email with said pdf brochure attached?
