Bump..

Did you have any luck? I cannot figure it out?

[roScripts]

Everything seems in order. I was curious if there's an input "tbxName" but I c it's there.

[Neoszion]

Check out this link in IE:

www.badassbrits.com/test/

It gives errors when submitted.

[Neoszion]

Did you have anyluck with this.. I cannot see any prob but still continue to get errors in IE6/7

[Neoszion]

I got it working it seemed to be a conflict with other js files..

I have one more question regarding this tut. How can I add captcha to it or Hijack prevention? is this simple to do?

I would recommend adding a honeypot, just add a new field, hide it with CSS, and if it is filled, simply kill the PHP process. Unfortunately you have to do this with PHP, because if you do it with JS, the bot won't load it. I have an example up on my post for my AJAX contact form here: http://midmodesign.com/news/coding/j...with-honeypot/

Hope that helps, sorry to bump an old topic, but seeing as this is a top result some users might find this helpful.
