Website CMS isn't working with web-to-lead

[DataDarling80]

So we have a custom version of a content management system based on THP that we're having issues with creating a web-to-lead form in.  When you paste the generated web-to-lead html code (below) then click update, the form's fields appear.  Then once the site is published, there's nothing there but a link back to the home page.  Is there some kind of form plug-in available that's been successful?

It sounds like your CMS does not handle the form HTML. What is the CMS you are using? Try wrapping the entire form code inside div tags; <div> <---web-to-lead form code---> < /div>

[DataDarling80]

Our web master tried this on your suggestion with a div tag on the front end of the entire thing and the close div on the back end.  Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but should I suggest that the web master try to wrap each line of the form in div tags?

Oh, our CMS is specially designed based on THP.  Is there a plug-in based on type of CMS that will fix? (Wishful thinking!)

Thanks!

It should suffice just to wrap the entire code in the div tags and not each individual line. There is no plugin as such I am afraid, at least from the Salesforce side. There maybe a plugin for your CMS that allows you to post HTML forms. Knowing the actual CMS maybe helpful to do a little digging. The only thing I get when I google THP is a website called freshmeat.net. Is this a CMS and the one you use? It sounds like the code base is PHP. So what you need to find is a PHP plugin that supports HTML forms for your CMS.
