And this is the HTML.
- Code: Select all
<form method="post" name="subscribeForm" id="subscribeForm" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" target="popupwindow">
<input name="email_txtBox" id="email_txtBox" type="text" value="" />
<input name="send_btn" id="send_btn" type="submit" value="" />
</form>
I know I made the function all complex but I couldn't think of anything else.
And yeah, even though I get the error but still on submitting the form I get the alert boxes from subscribeForm.onsubmit. I'm totally confused.:confused:
