You are linking to <code>contactengine.php</code> with an <code><a></code> link! Your browser treats this as a regular <code>GET</code> request, <strong>and doesn't send the data with it!</strong> Even though you put JavaScript code to submit the form, <strong>the browser's default action (to go to the link) overpowers your code</strong>.</p> <p>To fix this, either </p> <ol> <li>Change the last <code><a></code> tag in <code>contacts.html</code> to <code><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></code>, turning the link into a submit button, <em>or</em></li> <li>Add <code>; return false;</code> to the end of your <code>onclick</code> handler for the submitting link. This stops the browser from doing its default behavior, and submits the form.</li> </ol>
