NO REFERERS error message on ASP script

[jkanzler]

I have been trying like mad to get this script and this form to work. i'm at the point where the error message i get upon hitting the "SUBMIT" button is simply

Form could not be processed due to the following errors:

No referer.

I think I have all of the referer info completed unless I'm totally missing something. CAN ANYBODY HELP!!!

Here is the URL of the form:

https://hostelalaska.hostexcellence.com/hostelalaska-reservationform1.htm

and the location of the script

www.hostelalaska.com/formmail1.asp

and here is the first lines of the script with referer field as it stands:


'- Customization of these values is required, see documentation. -----------

referers = Array ("hostelalaska.com", "hostexcellence.com")
mailComp = "ASPMail"
smtpServer = "mail.hostelalaska.com"
fromAddr = "reservation@hostelalaska.com"

'- End required customization section. -------------------------------------

Response.Buffer = true
errorMsgs = Array()

THANK YOU TO ANYBODY WHO CAN HELP!!!!!!

Please post a detailed error message, that helps a lot.

One thing, I just submitted the form and got no errors. Maybe you have a referer-blocker on your browser? The error does not mean you have added no referers, it means the browser has not supplied any. This can happen if:

1) Your using an offline version on your own computer to submit the form
2) Referer software/plugins on your browser are stopping them
3) you typed in the address manually (not applicable here)
