Question

I had this simple modal contact form working fine but must have broke it somewhere along the way and can’t figure out where. Now when I hit submit I get a 404 Not found.

In Firefox the 404 message never shows and from the Error Console I’m seeing the following error repeated:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.open]” nsresult: “0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)” location: “JS frame :: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js :: anonymous :: line 125″ data: no]

The popup form can be found here at this site in development:

http://dailybutter.com

It’s been styled and there are 2 other popups on the home page that also use the smcf plugin “market statistics” and “quick search”.

The contact form was working after customizing appearance and adding those 2 other popups so I don’t know why it’s not now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

It’s because the action is null and it’s posting to the wrong page, the plugin is looking for the action here:

$('#smcf-content form').attr('action')

But your modal looks like this (when opened):

<div id="smcf-container" class="simplemodal-container">
 <div id="modal_content1" class="simplemodal-data">
  <div class='smcf-content'> 
   <form action='/wp-content/plugins/simplemodal-contact-form-smcf/smcf_data.php'>

That class='smcf-content' div needs to have an ID of id='smcf-content' instead of a class for the plugin to submit properly, or the plugin just wasn’t updated…I see #smcf-container everywhere else, so it’s possible this one ID selector was just missed and needs to be changed as well.
