  • That's very impressive hamster & megazoid! Thanks for helping everyone out. No doubt there's copyright issues on this one ;) but I hope the publisher can undersrtand in this particular instance why this proved necessary.

    I got fed up waiting for this to be fixed so I sort of fixed it myself.

    No guarantees, but the following seemed to work if you are brave and want to try it.

    The following instructions are for Firefox but you should be able to do the same using IE.

    Using Firefox I went to a page with a working competition and the page with the form that doesn't work.

    Using "View - Page Source" I had a quick look to see what the difference was.

    The bad page has a </FORM> near the start of the entry form instead of right at the end.

    To fix this go to the page that doesn't work and use:
    "File - Save Page As..." to save the page somewhere on your hard disk.

    Load the saved file, "win_ipod_kit_and_festival_tickets.htm", into a text editor.

    Find the start of the entry form by searching for "Back to T3".

    This should be in a section that reads:
    <input value="Back to T3" name="HIDDEN_returnpage" type="hidden"> </FORM>

    You need to delete "</FORM>" which is in the wrong place.

    Search again for "Enter the"

    This should be in a section as follows:
    <input value="Enter the competition!" type="submit">

    This is where "</FORM>" should be so edit it to read
    <input value="Enter the competition!" type="submit"></FORM>

    Save "win_ipod_kit_and_festival_tickets.htm" after making the correction.

    In Firefox use "File - Open File..." to open "win_ipod_kit_and_festival_tickets.htm" from your hard disk, fill in the form and the entry button should work. :)

    Now that's what I call a truly dedicated, determined comper. Well done Hamster, very clever of you, and also very generous to share.
    That's why this is the best forum ever.
