Greetings to all!

I've got a problem. I'm using a form to collect information from web site users, and the site stats show a 60% failure. I successfully send form submission through it EVERY TIME. The customer is dissatisfied with the number of submissions saying that they are markedly fewer than they have received in the past. I cannot confirm this.

I need some test form submissions on:
http://www.hellsbayboatworks.com/request/request.htm

Please put test time in the name block.

Ifthis form fails, please post with the OS/Browser that you're using and the error you're getting.

Thanks!

ask the client to give you some of their old requests, and also ask THEM to try to break it-THey may do some cockamamie thing you or I would never dream of....Remember, "When engineers make systems more foolproof, God makes better fools."

I will look into the product for WAN environments.

Received both submissions successfully.

Thanks Oldefar!
Where does your callsign oldefar come from?

Mine came from my days doing field installations.

Danish for "old father", or Grandfather. After 30 plus years in the industry, and with a son who is a senior engineer for one of big US carriers and a grandson who hacked my computer password before he could spell (3 year old), it seemed to fit.It is probably the source of "old fart" as well.

PS-I didn't fill all the fields- maybe that's your problem? Try making them all NOT required and see if your rejections go down?

I'm confident that my problem is perceptual rather than technical.

As described in the thread opener, the only evidence of failure is anecdotal. The server stats from the hosting service are by no means reliable, as they fail to increment on confirmed good tests. I cannot get a good answer from them as to what constitutes a failed form.

I used IE 6. something and had no problems submitting my form at all. So when do I get my free Whipperay 16? I need a new boat!

These boats are expensive as flats boats go. They are designed by fishermen for fishermen.

I really couldn't give you an objective evaluation, as I don't fish. I don't have the patience and would resort to explosives if I hadn't caught anything in the first 15 minutes on the water.

Many professional fishing guides use these boats to ply their trade, and they love them.

Professional fishing guide, what a great job, getting paid to fish. I need to find a job where I am paid to play videogames and goof off.
