Why do I get blank emails from my web site form?

Blank emails are a nuisance and can easily be fixed

This question comes up frequently from web site owners. They receive responses from their web forms except they lack data. No names, addresses, city, state, zip, etc.

What's up with that?

One common cause is a failure to validate the "submit" button on the form. This means your web developer did not put a small slice of code on the web form that will stop the email from going anywhere unless information is entered.

This is a bit different than validating each field, for example, "you must enter an address." This validation comes at the moment the user clicks the "Submit" button.
