Form sends but does not appear to send

Question

Hello
I have a small problem with the online form I have. When the
site visitor sends the form (by clicking submit) the form is
received by the Webmaster, but it does not
appear to have been sent to the site visitor. That is, all
the details, name, email, etc remain in place in the online form
after the submit button has been clicked.
I am posting this here because I think the form processing
aspect of my query works fine, so I assumed this was a Flash
problem. I am using Flash MX 2004.
This the relevant part of my AS:
var serverLang:String = "asp";
var email_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
email_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
if (email_lv.server_mes == "ok") {
status_txt.text = "Thank you, " + name_txt.text;
} else {
status_txt.text = "Sorry, your message was not sent";
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
email_lv.sendAndLoad("fla.asp", email_lv, "POST");
Thanks.
Steve

At the moment your code is only set up to display a message
and not to blank out any input fields etc.
I presume some onChanged handlers for the input fields change
the values in email_lv or perhaps some enterFrame loop etc.
You would normally do things either in the submit_btn handler
or email_lv.onLoad handler to hide or remove the input fields.
So you would need code to do that part.
If you mean something else, for example that the
if (success) { (etc)
part of your code is not executing after the form has been
successfully processed on the server (And the message "Sorry your
message was not sent" is being shown instead)
In that case, perhaps your server script is not returning the
expected value. All you need do in that case is have the asp script
return "server_mes=ok" in the body of the response. That will give
the LoadVars a return value to work with instead of nothing and
then the (success) branch of your code should execute .
