Hello 'thelist,

Can anyone tell me what, if anything, is wrong with this form?

The form validates ok - empty fields are correctly identified and reported, but when the submit button is clicked, I get this error:

"Cannot find server or DNS Error"

If I refresh this page, I get the following:

FormMail

The form is on http://www.northbaywebs.com/index.htm

Here is the code I'm using:
