[Azure Websites PHP] Cross Domain request results in blank response page after Preflight HTTP OPTIONS

Open up app/design/frontend/default/<theme>/template/contacts/contacts.phtml Insert the following snippets anywhere between the <form>...</form> tag. <select name="interest" id="interest" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Please select department t...
