download a file from a form button
Doug
the client. I need the edits of the form for a MySQL table, but the
following form code only wants to download 'download.php' and won't access
download.php so the code can take affect. How can the action item call
download.php?
<form name="form1" method="post" action="download.php"
onSubmit="
MM_validateForm('LastName','','R');MM_validateForm('email','','NisEmail');
MM_validateForm('email','','R');
MM_validateForm('FirstName','','R');
return document.MM_returnValue">
<p><b><font size="3">First Name:</font></b>
<input type="text" name="FirstName" maxlength="50" size="30">
<font size="3"><b> Last Name:</b></font>
<input type="text" name="LastName" maxlength="50" size="30">
</p>
eMail:
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="50">
</b></p>
<input type="submit" value="Download" />
</form>

No it doesn't. My comp screwed it up. :-(
Sorry about that.
to your question:
My advise would be to do a little test.
First remove the whole onsubmit-stuff and see if the script is called as you
expect.
1) If it doesn't: Your download.php is broken
2) If it does: check all the functions you call, like MM_validateForm, etc.

Sounds like your web server is not configured to recognize .php files as a
server-side script. Did you do the install, or is this a hosted web site?
