I am having a "submit" problem when passing name and email textbox information from form1 (formtest1.htm) to form2 (output.htm). After completing this info transfer when I click submit I get the error message: "Referring form output.htm?name=name&email=email&submit=submit does not exist"
However, form 2 submits perfectly if I simply keyword the info into form2 and click submit. So, the problem occurs only when I pass information from one form to another. Below are the 2 test forms that I have been using. I've spend hours trying to solve this problem, please help.
Form1 (formtest1.htm)
