Perch Forms, email template not showing

I'm creating a Perch form and while I have achieved the bare minimum requirements of client-side validation using HTML5, I would like to use a HTML template to submit the form to email clients.

I am aware I can have an auto-response email (I don't know if that takes a template) but in the options for the form after it has been submitted I don't see my email template located in /perch/templates/forms/email/

Thanks again for any assistance.

I don't understand where you have got to so far. Can you explain the steps you have followed and include:

  1. Your template
  2. Your Diagnostics Report

That seems to be your form template, not an email template.

If this is a continuation of a previous thread then ideally post to that thread. If it is not then we always need your Diagnostics Report and template. Support gets busy - we won't remember the specifics of your project!

I was using /email instead of /emails for the template location, however due to having an empty attribute value (HTML output):

<select id="form1_enquiry" name="enquiry" required="required"><option selected="selected" value=""></option><option value="General Enquiry">General Enquiry</option><option value="Request Information">Request Information</option><option value="Other">Other</option></select>

My form is not validating with w3c.
