The clear button worked ok for me and the send button came up with a 404 error and guessing you didn't get the form?

I only work on Joomla sites, what are you using for your site/template?

well the button i think just reloads the page, so that's why it clears. i downloaded teh site from template monster, i'd rather not redo the form just use what there and get it to work, i host with bluehost.

Your form page will have something that looks roughly like:

im actually following a tutorial, we'll see if it works.

Yes, a quick google search said the same, tis bedtime here but will pop back in the morning if you have not solved this.

Glad you got one working. Templates can be a blessing or a pain in the ass, if possible always grab one with very high user ratings.

Glad you got it working, I've spent many an hour looking for a missing or additional ; in a bit of code - frustrating.
