New added form page is not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    I created a form using the form tool within WordPress. When I tested it externally by clicking on the submit button, I have yet to receive the message even after 30mins. The page url is https://emergingmarketsdirect.wordpress.com/insights-newsletter/

    On a separate issue, I tried to create another new page in which I pasted the following code. though the table did appear, however the submit button did not display. For your information, this code is to garner new user details directly into our e-marketing user list on a separate site.

    <style>
    .link,
    .link a,
    .signupframe
    {
    color: #226699;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    }
    .link,
    .link a {
    text-decoration: none;
    }
    .signupframe {
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    background: #ffffff;
    }
    .signupframe .required {
    font-size: 10px;
    }
    </style>
    <form method=”post” action=”https://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php” name=”icpsignup” id=”icpsignup2196″ accept-charset=”UTF-8″ onsubmit=”return verifyRequired2196();” >
    <input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”http://www.icontact.com/www/signup/thanks.html”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”errorredirect” value=”http://www.icontact.com/www/signup/error.html”>

    <div id=”SignUp”>
    <table width=”260″ class=”signupframe” border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”5″>

    <script type=”text/javascript”>

    var icpForm2196 = document.getElementById(‘icpsignup2196’);

    if (document.location.protocol === “https:”)

    icpForm2196.action = “https://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php”;
    function verifyRequired2196() {
    if (icpForm2196[“fields_email”].value == “”) {
    icpForm2196[“fields_email”].focus();
    alert(“The Email field is required.”);
    return false;
    }

    return true;

    Your contact form appears to function as it should.

    As for the rest, you should be aware that we on wp.COM can not use various code and CSS upgrade make no exceptions:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

    If you are familiar with HTML, you’ll notice that codes such as embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea and others are missing from the above list. Those codes are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons.

    JavaScript

    Users are not allowed to post JavaScript on WordPress.com blogs. JavaScript can be used for malicious purposes. As an example, JavaScript has taken sites such as MySpace.com and LiveJournal offline in the past. The security of all WordPress.com blogs is a top priority for us, and until we can guarantee scripting languages will not be harmful, they will not be permitted.

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

    Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
    No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content.

    Do you know that there are different sorts of WordPress?

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Thanks. Noted on the Javascript issue. However, it’s been 2 hours now since I tested the existing form (https://emergingmarketsdirect.wordpress.com/insights-newsletter/ ) and I have still not received the message to my inbox. Hence obviously, it is not functioning. I’m added as an administrator to this blog and besides that, I have also added the (email visible only to moderators and staff) email address to the submit button.

    Have you checked your Spam folder? They commonly go there.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes, have just checked. It’s not there either.

    You’re welcome. Lots of systems try to prevent you from emailing yourself. If you log out, they can’t tell it’s you.
