I have written a script that you fill in a form and then submit it but am having a little trouble with it. Also need feeback and sugestions if you wouldn't mind.
http://www.defectalisman.com/examples/form.php
It uses basic php, html & javascript.
It submits to $PHP_SELF.
The prob I am having is that if you refresh the page and then fill in all the requiered feilds (put a return at the end of the comments box ) and press enter on another feild it skips the javascript and there after (without a refresh) even pressing the preveiw button does the same?
This is the code for the script.
Like I said any feedback as a better way to do something please post.
P.S. Also it seems to take a while to process the form ? ? ?
