View Full Version : weird email form problem

Hey everyone,

I wonder if you might be able to answer what is potentially a stupid question..

For this site I created a php email contact form and it's working fine: http://japanese-acupuncture.110mb.com/main.html

The contact form is in the clinic info tab on the side bar.

I've just set up a new site, and I copied the movie clip I used for the above site straight into the new one before adjusting how it looks to fit the layout of the new site. I changed the look but nothing else in terms of scripting etc.

I'm going to use it in two places, and I know that I'll need to duplicate the movie clip for that. The site it's up on doesn't support sendmail, but I'm not worried about that yet.

What I can't figure out is why my text fields no longer let me input text, even though the movieclip is exactly the same as on the above site. The new site address is here: http://www.users.on.net/~davidgardner/

The contact form on the new site is on the 'register for a course now' tab, and on the 'contact us' page.

The only thing I can think of, is that the problem is caused by the contact form being buried in a series of movieclips.

If anyone has any idea what the problem is I'd be very appreciative!

Thanks,
David

Because your textfields are under a mask, and the font used needs to be embedded, for it to show up under a mask.

In each textfield's properties, hit the Embed tab, select Basic Latin, and hit OK.

It then works.

Ah, awesome, thanks Atomic!

Thought it might have been a silly question :)

Thanks again,
