Re: how do I a password challenge to submit a web form

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Form has errors in it
Form names can not have spaces in them as in
name="Future event booking form"
Change it to
name="Future_event_booking_form"
Rename the page to remove spaces from the file name

Same applies to the page
- spaces in file names break links


IMHO
No one in their right mind should ever use that form
- You are asking for credit card information without a secure server
- You are emailing the CC info in the clear
- You are saving the cc info in a file on the server (violates CC rules and is not secure)
If you have any stored info there you are leaving yourself liable for CC fraud by a hacker
