Issue with multiple forms - php

Question

I have two forms on my page. One is in the footer which I cannot change. The second is in my main page. Confused? I hope not.
When I open the style-demo page (link below) you can see that the information belonging in the Footer form is partially entered into the comment form on the page.
The Form in the footer works correctly however the comment section does not.
Any help to have both work would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Answer 1

In the main page, the form is defined as <form action="#" method="post">. For the action, you need to put the PHP file you're calling. # doesn't make sense. Look at your other declaration:
<form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_form_email.php">
This makes sense. It's telling HTML to send to send_form_email.php the information through POST.
