Hello all, im at my wits end after googling for hours now, so hoping you all can help
To preface a bit, i've been searching for many hours and was almost sure someone out there would have the same issue as me but It looks like all the results are regarding people not getting the emails at all, or not getting their redirect page to work, etc. etc.
My issue is that I have a site with a contact page (your basic name, phone number, email fields), upon hitting the submit button it goes to my redirect (thanks for submitting) page, and I receive the actual email, however its completely blank..utterly and completely blank. As if I sent you an email with a subject, and left the body with nothing in it and hit send. Im not sure if i need to modify my contact page code, or the gdform.asp, or both....thats where i need help
I use Godaddy as the host, and am using their GDFORM.ASP file, and the email addy the emails go to is the one I have with godaddy as well, so it all seemed pretty cut and dry, im just having the hardest time finding out why its blank. I can read code pretty well (html, css, sql, and bits of JS and asp) so im not a complete newbie at all this, at least I think im not
. As of now I have not modified the gdform.asp file at all, just left it exactly how godaddy gave it to me on my root. Im pretty sure i need modify it somehow to match up with the fields I have on my actual site's contact page, but am confused as to where it goes. If someone can guide me in the right direction as to maybe an example line of code i need to input, I can prob take it from there.
Im supplying both the contact page code, along with the godaddy gdform.asp file as well, exactly as they are on my server now. Any help is GREATLY appreciated and many thanks in advance!!
