PHP表单适用于索引但不联系我们页面

Question

I have been developing a pretty simple mailer form in PHP. I have each of the questions in div elements and this javascript reveals the next div/question (it is in the file form.php)

 <script type="text/javascript">    
  function hideshow(which){     
  if (!document.getElementById)     
  return    if (which.style.display=="block")
                which.style.display="none"  
  else which.style.display="block"  }
  </script>

and a separate code validates what was selected or inputted before revealing the next element.

Okay, so everything works just fine on the index page. However, on the contact us page (where I want the form available since I suspect many people will not fill out the popup on the index page) I have hit a snag. My script advances all the way to the final question and the button to submit the form. Then nothing happens... I can click the button but it does not submit the form. Here is the script that should submit the form (included in validation.js):

function ageValidate(){ 'use strict';
    //Verfiy that submitter is not a robot 
    var age=document.getElementById('age').value;
    if(age === ""){     // no answer, submit form
    document.getElementById('ageErr').innerHTML = 'This is to validate that you are not a robot, please enter the correct answer to the problem.';
    return false;
    }   else if (age === "5"){  // right answer
     submitForm();   return true;   }   else {  // wrong answer
    document.getElementById('ageErr').innerHTML = 'Your answer is incorrect or you did not use the numeric format. 2 is valid, but two is not valid.';      }   }

$(document).ready(function() {   $(window).keydown(function(event){
    if(event.keyCode == 13) {
      event.preventDefault();
      return false;
    }   }); });


function submitForm() {     if (document.getElementsByName("serviceType")[0].value === "")
        return false;   else if (document.getElementsByName("numberPhones")[0].value === "")
        return false;   else if (document.getElementsByName("zip")[0].value === "")
        return false;   else if (document.getElementsByName("email")[0].value === "")
        return false;   else if (document.getElementsByName("name")[0].value === "")
        return false;   else if (document.getElementsByName("age")[0].value === "")
        return false;   else {      document.forms["howHelp"].submit();         }

and the last question on the form in form.php:

<div id="q7" style="display:none">
    <div class="how-help">
        <h2>What is eight minus three?</h2>
        <center><div>
        <input type="text" name="age" id="age" value="<?php echo $age;?>">      
        </div><br/>
        <div id="ageErr" name="ageErr" style="color: #000;  background: #41b0cc;  font-weight:700;  width: 400px;  height: auto;  margin:0px; font-size:10pt;"></div></center>
    </div>
    <!--   FOOTER  -->
      <div class="how-help-footer">
    <center>
    <input type="button" class="jump"
        value="Continue"
        onclick="ageValidate()"></form>
      </center><a href="javascript:hideshow(document.getElementById('q6')); hideshow(document.getElementById('q7'))" class="back">BACK</a><div class="private"><a href="#" class="private"> Privacy Policy</a></div>
    </div>
</div>
    <script src="validation.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>

Again, it works perfectly fine on the index page but not the contact page... I should add that all of the files are in the same directory so there should not be any issue with pointing to the wrong directory. I use

php include 'form.php'

to have the form both places and I am not sure if this could be the issue, but my form action is:

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

I should add that this is an amazing community of extremely helpful people and without the many questions asked and answered I would not be where I am with this project, so thanks for everything in the past and in advance!

Answer 1

Because I was adding the form to a page that already had a comment form on it, the IDs of the two mailers were in conflict. Silly when I pull back and think about it. I've separated the two forms.
