    PrimordialSoul - 2007-03-18

    Hello and thank you in advance for any help.

    I currently have a website up that used PHPFormGenerator for a base to create an application for guild within an online game.  It is currently working in Internet Explorer without issue, but when attempting to submit in Firefox, the user is brought to a white screen with only the domain name on the site (not even the proper error screen).

    The website is: www.dragonswatch.com/dwapplicationframe.htm

    It directs to the script www.dragonswatch.com/scripts/process.php

    Any help you can give in getting this to work on Firefox would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you :)

      Sorry, in my haste I mislabeled the sites.  They are:

      www.dragonswatch.net/dwapplicationframe.htm

      and

      www.dragonswatch.net/dwapplicationframe.htm

        Ugh...

        www.dragonswatch.net/dwapplicationframe.htm

        and

        www.dragonswatch.net/scripts/process.php

      Wow, this was an easy fix.  I never thought that such a trivial symbol wouldve caused so much havoc for Firefox.  The problem was as follows:

      In my Form tag I had the '\' in the action command as a backslash instead of a forward slash.

      INCORRECT WAY: <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='scripts\process.php' method='post'>

      CORRECT WAY: <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='scripts/process.php' method='post'>

      The incorrect way worked in IE but not Firefox.  The correct way worked with both.  Hope that helps anyone in the future.

      My form tag - <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='process.php' method='post'> doesn't include a back or foward slash. Using submit in Firefox, the user is brought to a Thsank You screen with only the first name, last name and email address fields - only the email address field contains any information.

        Omitting the slash just implies that the file should be found in the current folder (were the form1.html file is located). 
        Variable fields that do not appear are probably a result of improper use of the form.  What this means is that maybe the form file/folder structure has been changed, or files that are being used have been swapped or moved.  Without more detail I am afraid there is not much I can do.  If you need more help, try sending me an email with your form URL and a copy of your process.php file.
