Hi,

I would like to be able to use a contact form in a Joomla 2.5 site, within a custom HTML module. I'm hoping such a thing is possible, can anyone offer advice on how this might be done?

You should be able to easily achieve this by altering your form script to have absolute links. I don't use Joomla but this approach should work if it's difficult to place the proper directory structure for the form files within your Joomla site.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I should have said, I'm a complete novice. Sorry! I understand the difference between absolute and relative links but not much beyond that. Do you mean change "src="Contact Form/Contact Form.html" to an absolute link to that page?

Figured it out! It seems using an iFrame wrapper is the way to go as was suggested in another topic.

That's one way. If you look at the script it's an iframe already.:) Glad you got it working. Have fun with your new discovery.;)
