    When I paste the html code and then try to preview the page is blank. I click on view source on the webpage and can see the html code. But it just shows a blank screen. If I open the downloaded zipfile and open the form there it all looks good. the form is file #118420 what am I doing wrong?

      I've done this many times and help many other people do it as well.  It is hard to tell you what you are doing wrong without seeing what you have done.  Can you point me to an online copy or send me the file?

      here is the address of where I pasted the code.  If you view source it is all the way to the bottom one code up.  "http://www.zanesvillecityguide.com/page/5867/Zanesville-Recommend#content"

      Thanks,

        OK, so your problem is that you have pasted the contents of the process.php file when you should be pasting parts of the form.html file.

      That is a start. I tried this before and it shows up but the formatting is wrong or missing. I re-pasted the code for the form.html, can you please look again ans see why it looks different?

        I can help, but not when the site is "Down for Maint".  Do you want to just send me a copy of the file?

      That rarely happens on about 1 sunday every 3 months. The site is up and running could you please look again?

        I have no idea what you are trying to do based on the code on this page. 
        Maybe you should change this line
        <a name="content">&nbsp;</a>http://www.jeffsfunpage.com/zcgrecommends/form.html        </div>
        to this line
        <a href=http://www.jeffsfunpage.com/zcgrecommends/form.html name="content">http://www.jeffsfunpage.com/zcgrecommends/form.html</a>        </div>

        If you are trying to insert the entire form.html file inside your page, this can not be done without some special treatment of the html file to be inserted (like inserting into an IFrame).  Otherwise you will have to strip out specific html features that make the form work and integrate them into the html page you are trying to add the form to.

      Thank you,
      I will just use a link to the page instead of trying to get it to show up within another page. It will not look as I want but it will do for now.
