Question

The aim is to show a form which will update the div on the page with the result

1. load this [page]
2. click the linkto show the form
3. submit the form

When submitting, the result does not show in the div if the form had been hidden.

• after adding the code suggested in the below answers, I show the form, it gets submitted, but the data is not appearing in the div I give the ajaxForm as target

  [Here] is the same form that does show the result in the div

Thanks

Answer 1

When you submit the form, the request is sent to the server and you obtain a HTTP Error: 405 Method Not Allowed.

It looks like it comes from the configuration of your server.

Edit: as your code works for your example in the facy.html page I think it doesn’t really comes from the server. The difference between the two examples are the action of the form.

• fancy.html: you load a PHP file
• fancy3.html: you load an HTML file

Did you try to call your thank you page “thanks.php” and modify the action of your form accordingly. I suppose that your server might not allow POST request on an HTML page.
