problem with coldfusion form

I've created a coldfusion form that is passing to a sendform.cfm page. When
I submit, the result I get is just the code of the sendform page. What am I
doing wrong?

I just tried uploading the form and got this error on submission:

The error occurred in
C:\Inetpub\webworkscafe\simivalley\information\volunteer\sendForm.cfm: line

12 : subject="I'd like to volunteer at Pinecrest"
13 : server="mail.pinecrestschools.com">I have a contactEmail defined in the
form. Any ideas?Susan

Bill - This is exactly what it says:

The error occurred in :\Inetpub\webworkscafe\simivalley\information\volunteer\sendForm.cfm: line 22

20 : Work Phone Number: #FORM.workPhone#
21 : E-mail Address: #FORM.contactEmail#
22 : Magazine Sales: #FORM.magazineSale#
23 : Jump Rope for Heart: #FORM.jumprope#
24 : Math-A-Thon: #FORM.math#

I tried changing the "from" in the sendform.cfm to my own email address and the form went a little further than it had. But now is getting stuck at the first a many radio buttons I have. Each button has a unique name, which is on the sendform page.

Here is the page. http://webworkscafe.com/simivalley/...r/volunteer.cfm

Thanks for looking.

Susan,
I submitted the form, and checked the "Magazine" radio button, but then it
threw an error at line 23 (the next radio button after "Magazine"). I see
the user can select more than one option everywhere you have radio buttons.
This is not what radio buttons are for. You should use checkboxes instead,
and make the checked value of the checkbox "yes" or something affirmative to
show that the user has checked the box.

On the sendform.cfm page, you would need to process each checkbox like this:

<cfif isDefined("FORM.magazine")>
MagazineSales: #FORM.magazine#
</cfif>

This way, the page checks to see if the checkbox has been checked or not.
Also, I can submit the form without filling it out. You really need to
validate the form so that it cannot be submitted without filling some fields
out.

Thanks, Bill. I appreciate your takng the time. I'll give it a try right

I know about the validation. I just hadn't gotten to it yet.

That worked perfectly Bill. Thank you so much. I only have one more
questions about it. When the results are received, there is a big vertical
space between the items that were checked. It appears to be leaving room for
the unchecked items, but not showing them. Is there any way to adjust this?

Susan,
Try placing this before any of your CF tags:
<cfprocessingdirective suppressWhiteSpace = "Yes">

and after the last CF tag, use:
</cfprocessingdirective>
