Thanks to all the helpful folk on the CoffeeCup Forum who've been so generous with their time. I finally got my form working pinpointmarketer.com/Contact-Us.html and have purchased the full version of CoffeeCup Form Builder.

I hope these few notes may help someone:

To Avoid Revealing My Private Email Address
I'm not sure I can alter the auto response, but to hide my private email, I entered it under:

Edit --> Form Results --> Form Results --> BCC (rather than CC)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I discovered how to redirect my visitors after they've filled in my contact form:

To Direct To A Custom Page

Edit --> Form Settings --> Form Submissions --> Create a Custom Page
Best to create this in HTML so you can customise it


To Direct To A Website

Edit --> Form Settings --> Form Submissions --> Redirect to Website Address
Enter the website address

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

To Automatically Send A Message To Visitors Who've Submitted Your Form
Check "Send E-mail Auto Reply" on the right and construct your message.

To Return Info Your Visitor Submitted
Check "Send a copy of form results to user" at the bottom. Use the drop-down menue to determine whether the E-mail Auto Reply (i.e. the email you constructed) appears at the bottom or the top of the email.

Very nice. I'm glad you got it all sorted out.

I've had the same problem as yours - with contact form. Internet Explorer usually makes me angry . I don't know why some people using it. But, it doesn't matter.

Thanks for this nice article guys.

Good Luck!

Hi regs,

Hope the previous discussion proved useful.

My one remaining pain is that each time I upload something to the site, my contact form disappears in IE, making it necessary for me to again upload the HTML form created by correcting the IE code. This is most annoying. Hope someone comes up with a permanent solution.

What exactly is the IE code you correct? I don't believe this I'm aware of this issue (hopefully not a common one).

Thanks for responding yet again Adam R.

On November 3rd (See above), Cary advise me to move this line of code (obtained from my contact page http://www.pinpointmarketer.com/Contact-Us.html when viewed in IE):
from immediately before the closing body tag to the header.

After clicking "View" --> "Source", I move the line of code as instructed. I then rename the source page so it has the same name as the part of the name of my web page appearing after the "/" (i.e. "Contact-Us.html") and, using FileZilla I upload it to my site. The form can then be seen in the IE browser; only problem is it disappears each time I add content to the site and click the "Publish My Web Site" button in my XSitePro site builder.

I hope you can help me to remedy this.

Hi Guys,

really helpful postings here - but I can't seem to be able to apply any of it to the same problem I have with IE. This form (made with good old Coffee Cup) displays in everything BUT IE, and it's winding me up...!

Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Is where it is posted, if you need to look.

Thanks in anticipation

having trouble finding it on your site. what page is it on?

Loads fine directly in IE from this page:
http://www.bealycourt.co.uk/cottage_form.html
I couldn't see it loading in any other page with Firefox or IE7.
