AJAX Contact Form

feed icon Subscribe

Thursday, August 18, 2005

Have you been trying to add a progress bar to your contact form? Me too. After several days of searching Google and trying several different solutions, I finally found a great AJAX contact form that anyone can implement.

If I were a javascript and ruby expert I’m sure this would have been easy however, at this point these are not my areas of expertise. There are several solutions available if you have more programming experience but, the one I used was done by Jeff Pipas and his well explained example can be found here. He has all of the files you need to do this yourself and a very detailed explanation of all of the parts.

The only problem I ran into was in the sendmail.php file. In the send mail function the first two variables were using single quotes. My server needed all of them to be in double quotes. Beyond that the script worked perfectly. Big thanks to Jeff for his great AJAX contact form! : )

Why bother with AJAX here?  Simple Javascript (non-ajax) will do the exact same thing clientside… unless I’m misunderstanding something.
