Hi Syddos,

I copied the code and re-entered it using the admin/templete and it still didnt work...SO, I downloaded the original contactus.tpl from the skin1original folder, opened it up in Notepad, delete the stuff i didnt want, and then saved the file and uploaded to my skin1 directory and now it works! Perhaps there is something wrong with my browser or something in that it adds in extra characters or something? Kinda funny....

One more thing, although i entered the code, as long as I put an email address, I am able to send a message - even though the First Name, Last Name, Subject, and Message fields are empty...is this what is supposed to happen? I would have thought that an error sign would pop up saying "sorry, the please enter your first name" or something like that..

Thanks,

japanchick

Actually, I've had similiar problems, but only once in a while.
Using the built-in editor somehow corrupted the template and gave me smarty errors.
I edited the original the same way using editpad lite, re-uploaded it and it was fine.

Does anyone know if it's browser settings?

Not meaning to post off-topic here, but while where on the subject...
when I cut and paste from a website to an html editor (ie FrontPage), I get alot of garbage characters, but if I paste into a text editor it works fine.
Any ideas?

seaCOAST....
It's a Frontpage thang.

You'd have to go into the frontpage html and strip/change all the garbage after you make your wsiwyg changes and not go back to page view after that. Or copy your FP html to a texteditor and do the character fixing there. I hear Dreamweaver does a clean job of pasting

Thanks Jeannie.
I figured as much. That's exactly what I do...I paste to a text editor than cut from there and paste it into FP.
