I am making a mail form from scratch in html using guidance from thalasson dot com.
I have succeeded with setting
tag <email> and </email> around 'What is your email address?'
and
tag <name> and </name> around 'Your name'

but am having problems with the text box for the message.

I believe I need tags <comment> and </comment> somewhere, but wherever I put them, it fails. Thus...

If I put them round 'Please type your message here', that line becomes hidden. If I put them round the textbox code, the box becomes hidden. If I put them inside the code for the textbox, they appear inside the box. Whatever, I get an error message saying 'You did not enter a comment'.

Arrgh.

Has anyone done this successfully? Or can anyone point me to instant/complete code I can copy?

Many thanks.
