Why isn't my form showing up?

Hey guys,
I've been working on this for a while now and I still can't get it to work! My situation is getting more and more serious and I need more money!

I have set up a 'You Can't Block This' popup to get people to sign up to my mailing list, but the form I have put on it doesn't show up!

I have no idea why as I know that other users of the same software have their forms on their popups.

Here is where it is located at the moment (in a test folder)...

Guitar Burning Speed - Guitar Speed | Shred Guitar | Fast Guitar

The popup is delayed for 4 seconds, the form should show up directly under the txt that says 'Free Sign Up:'.

Can anyone help me?

It would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Charlie.

    Charlie,

    Check your code again. I didn't see any <form> tags in the popup. Normally, the <form> tag starts the form and <from> ends it.

      Hi Charles,
      The thing is that when I have the popup in frontpage, it has the <form> tags but they don't seem to show up when I put the page on the net.

          After fixing one problem I have come across another. Zerofill helped me show the form, but now I can't get the subscribe button to actualy work. Does anyone have an answer to this?

              Hi Zerofill,
              Yeah I uploaded it, not sure why they are showing on your end, only shows the tags that I changed to table.

                    Yeah...the reason why is your submit button is outside the closing form tag </form>

                      Hi Zerofill,
                      I'm not sure why it is doing that when it is online, cause in the html I see in frontpage it is definatly after it.

                      Charlie.

                        Since frontpage sucks...
                        look at it in some other editor...even a text editor...

                        The form code I see when I view it is like this:

                        HTML Code:
                        <table width="300"><form action="http://www.guitarburningspeed.com/ps/sub.php?a=s" method="post">
<input name="l" value="2" type="hidden">
</form><table width="100%"><tbody><tr><td width="29%">
    <p align="right"><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Name:</font></b></p></td>
<td width="68%" align="left">
<p align="center"><input name="f" style="float: left;"></p></td></tr>
<tr><td width="29%">
    <p align="right"><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Email:</font></b></p></td>
    <td width="68%" align="left">
    <p align="center"><input name="e" style="float: left;"></p></td></tr><tr>

<td colspan="2" align="center"><input name="submit" value="Subscribe" type="submit"></td>
</tr></tbody></table>
                        So no matter what Frontpage is showing you...when it is rendered in a browser it is wrong...

                          ACtually make a backup of that page...then select everything in it and delete what is in it and then paste what I send you in PM in it...upload it again and see how that works for you.

                                Oh, and the <table width="300"> at the start is wrong.
                                it can only have TR THEAD or TBODY directly inside it to be valid HTML.
                                You can PROBABLY remove it safely, depending on what comes after the form.
