Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

And as expected, the application works just fine. The same application d

Advantage of this method: Easy to add in new emails in the future. Disadvantage of this method: For those who are particularly concern email privacy, you might not want to use this method. You can modify the email checking to the backend (controller) instead. Okay enough talking, lets get started. Step 1: Set up HTML form fields I'm going to use an example of drop down select to change the email. Of course, this is fairly easy to modify with other forms as well. 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
