i am quite clueless to what is wrong here and i hope someone can assist if they have had similar problems and found a solution.

thank you for your time.

You need to have a <form runat="server"> tag on your template.

Immediatedly inside you master pages <body> tag put the above tag (and close it before the </body> tag).

This should stop the error, you may want to reduce the scope of the <form> tag. Try putting it only on the templates that require Contour.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi, you need a <form runat="server"> in your template that will host the form to function properly.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
