Forms - no submit button

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to sort out a very simple form - name, email, message, submit - all following the video examples on this site. I've installed the forms app and created and saved a form template into perch/templates/content.

However, the form isn't display any submit button. Also, I have 2 textarea end tags just before the submit.

I'm very new to Perch, it may only be a typo, however I have searched an unable to find any. Is there something I am missing.

Could somebody please try and help?

Thanks in advance, Craig

That looks like it should work. Have you checked to see if the submit button appears in the the HTML source?

No it doesn't, I get 2 closing </textarea> tags too.

<form id="form1_form-contact" action="/contact.php" method="post" role="form">
                    <div class="input">
                        <label for="form1_name">Your name:</label>
                        <input id="form1_name" name="name" type="text" required="required" />
                    </div>
                    <div class="input">
                        <label for="form1_email">Your email:</label>
                        <input id="form1_email" name="email" type="email" required="required" />
                    </div>
                    <div class="input">
                        <label for="form1_message">Your message:</label>
                        <textarea id="form1_message" name="message" cols="30" rows="4" required="required"></textarea></textarea>
                    </div>



                </form>

Have you re-saved the content region since making changes to your template? The template works as expected here.
