<input type="hidden" name="form_tools_initialize_form" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_tools_form_id" value="4" />can anyone please guide me in the right direction.
many thanks
RE: need help with my first form - bills - Dec 19th, 2012
Have you sucessfully sent a Test Submission and finalized the form?
If so, you need to remove the line from your page:
<input type="hidden" name="form_tools_initialize_form" value="1" />
Check here for more info on error codes.
