I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope this is alright here. We set up a simple form that collects your name and e-mail address and adds it to our database of mailing list subscribers. This will allow those that are awaiting the sale of LED PCBs,etc to be notified when they become available.

Anyway the address is here and is also linked on the home page. Even if you are already on the mailing list, you may want to resubcribe.

Sorry guys. I guess in this case it needs a ".htm" in the link. Try the link above now, it works from here.

You've got problems with the paths in your HTML, you have paths like:

../../Applications%20(Mac%20OS%209)/Dreamweaver%203/Sites/Products.gif

...which clearly isn't going to work for people not running the page from your Mac ;-)

Mac's are cool, they make it really easy to do things like design a webpage!

And, as we all know, Apple is to blame for bugs in Dreamweaver.

That was just some remnant code from a page I made on a Mac a while ago. I haven't used one in 5 months now. Anyway, those elements were not intended to show on the mailing list page so that is why they slipped by me. Thanks for pointing them out. No sense in you guys downloading that if there's no need to do so.

I'm having problems with the page. After I enter my info, I get:

"Unable to open DB at append_record
Use your BACK button to return"

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for pointing that out. It happens every once in a while. Haven't found the root cause. I will get somebody on it by tonight.

I've been informed that it is functional again. Please give it another try. If it returns "Thanks for Visting!" then it worked and you should receive an e-mail confirmation.
