Greetings: I've recently taken over responsibility for managing the following website: Abacus Custom Painting. There are three site webpages on which three (in question) submission forms are embedded:
Those pages are: 1) Home Page: Note the "No Job Too Small... Get Your Free Estimate Today!" submission form. Visitors are encouraged to submit first name, last name, email address & phone number, and a brief description of needed work vis-a-vis this form. 2) 7 Things You Must Know Before Hiring a Painter Page: Note the "Get Your Free Estimate Today!" submission form. Visitors are encouraged to submit first name, last name, email address & phone number, zipcode, and a brief description of needed work vis-a-vis this form. 3) 5 Suggestions To Choose Paint Colors Page: Note the "Get Your Free Estimate Today!" submission form (same as above.) For the first two impacted site-pages and submission forms, can someone identify the specific code (in its entirety) which governs these two unique submission forms? My goal with posting this thread is to: 1) better understand what specific script(s), even if those scripts are remotely-hosted, is being invoked when a site visitor chooses to submit contact details through one or all of the above submission forms & 2) understand exactly (step by step) what process or code edits/modifications are needed to ensure site visitor-provided contact details are submitted/routed to an email address of my choosing. Thanks in advance -- |

I only looked at the 1st listed page. I get all kinds of Javascript errors just by loading 'index.html'. This page submits to itself, if that helps you.

Greetings!
For the first two impacted site-pages and submission forms[/b], can someone identify the specific code (in its entirety) which governs these two unique submission forms? Forms are normally handled by server-side scripts, that are invisible from the web. The first form submits to its own URL: CODE <form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data' id='gform_1' action='index.html'> which means the server-side script and the HTML may be part of the same file, "index.html". You need to download the file with FTP to view the server-side script's code. Seems the second page contains no form, it's a link to http://abacuscustompainting.com/free-estimate/index.html but the same applies as above. I'll add that the (Wordpress?) code is terribly bloated, on the second page I count to 131 SCRIPT elements. I'd redo the whole site or decline the job. QUOTE My goal with posting this thread is to: 1) better understand what specific script(s), even if those scripts are remotely-hosted, is being invoked when a site visitor chooses to submit contact details through one or all of the above submission forms & 2) understand exactly (step by step) what process or code edits/modifications are needed to ensure site visitor-provided contact details are submitted/routed to an email address of my choosing. Alas impossible to say from the web. |
