Hi,
I have a site running on windows server 2008.
The site is HTML, and has two forms which POST to PHP scripts (both to send an email).
This error comes up however when I click the submit button on the page
"405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access."
After looking around on the web, I've tried a few solutions but none seem to work.
I've tried adding a .html extension allowing POST, GET in iis Manager (through adding a managed handler) however this doesn't seem to work.
any ideas? any help would be appreciated!
EDIT:
HTML FORM CODE:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="mail.php">
<fieldset>
<legend><strong>Please fill out our contact form</strong></legend>
<table width="622" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="277">Name*</td>
<td width="335"><input class="purple" name="nickname" type="text" id="nickname" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
