Hey when i make a form and put it on my site it always says "This Form Is In-Operational" So i tried to see if it worked and nothing happened. The form comes out 100% correct and i have followed tutorials and generators but it always says the same thing and dosn't work. Any suggestions? or a recomendation to a site or genarator your sure that works? :)

You didn't actually follow the tutorials. What do you want your form to do? Send an email? Because your form doesn't get anywhere. You need to put <FORM action="url" method="get or post">. It depends on what you want to do =/

Well you'll need PHP. Does your domain accept PHP?

By the way, I got to go sleep, sorry. Another member will help you or I'll help you tomorrow.

G'night.

You wont be able to make a decent form with PHP then, you can use this but thats it;

<html>
<body>
<form action="[email protected]" method="post">
<select name="shoutouts and requests">
<option value="Shoutout">Shoutout</option>
<option value="Request">Request</option>
<option value="Question">Question</option>
<option value="Compition">Compition</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<Br><textarea rows="5" cols="20" wrap="physical" name="comments">
</textarea>
<Br>
<input type="submit" value="Air It">
<input type="reset" value="Reset it!">
</form>
</body>
</html>

And why dont you get a proper request system?

Edit you didnt end the option tags..

will that send peoples requests and shouts, stuff like that into the e-mail i put for form action? Also it says dat provisanry users can't make that type of form and that form is inoperational. so then what does that mean?
