  2. Nice howto but be aware about cross scripting hack (XSS)before copy/paste.

    Why don't use the PDO and POO for the server script side.

    Thank's for sharing it

  21. I tried this on my webpage where multiple forms are getting loaded dynamically and there this is not working.
    It's working with a single form with the same input fields name.
    can you please give us some clues so that we can make this form submission work in multiple dynamic forms in a single page.

    Thanks in advance.

  23. Hi, thanks for this tutorial. Any idea why it doesn't validate in IE? When Submitting with empty fields there is no error and the "Thank you message" shows up but I don't receive the email.

    Any help very appreciated.

    Jeff

    document.getElementById('test').innerHTML=(' ')

    Can you someone PLEASEEE tell me why this is happening, and even better, how I can fix it. Much appreciated

  25. Internet explorer will not provide a validation error. Instead, the box disappears as it would before the success message, but with no content instead. Any idea why this is happening?
