  For hosting reasons I have to use the hosts contact form. Which looks like this

  <form id=”contactform” name=”contactform” method=”post” action=”http://www.domain.co.uk/cgi-bin/formmail.pl” onsubmit=”return checkemail(this)”>

  For some reason it’s not sending through wordpress any ideas?

  Thanks

  I don’t think it will work on a WordPress.com-hosted blog that way. You need to do it this way:

  If your blog is not at WordPress.com, you will need to seek help at WordPress.org, and the [contact-form] format will not work for you at all.

  Raincoaster, Thanks very much for making me open my eyes. I totally forgot about turning off the visual editor.. How thick am i?

  All sorted now. The blog isn’t hosted on wordpress so thats ok :)
