web-to-form does't work?

Hello,

 

I have an issue with Web-to-lead form. It doesn't seem to work for me using salesforce (sandbox) default generated code.

here is a code

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<title>SFDC Form Test</title>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<div>
<form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">

<input type=hidden name="oid" value="MY VALUE">
<input type=hidden name="retURL" value="MY VALUE">

<label for="email">Email</label><input  id="email" maxlength="80" name="email" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="first_name">First Name</label><input  id="first_name" maxlength="40" name="first_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="last_name">Last Name</label><input  id="last_name" maxlength="80" name="last_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

change 

 

https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8

 

for 

 

https://cs7.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8

 

AND

 

"MY VALUE", is your Sandbox org ID, be sure that you have the right one. Each time you refresh your sandbox the Org ID changes.

 

Go to Setup - Administration Setup - Company Information, and copy the Org ID from there.

Without it it won´t work.

 

It should work after this.

Seems that this code has been generated in producion.

 

 

When you generate Web-to-Case/Lead html in Sandbox, the URL provided in the code should be  test.salesforce.com or as far as I can remember cs1.salesforce.com or cs2.salesforce.com,cs3,etc. so, the number related to your salesforce server.

 

Take a look at  your Sandbox home page URL, and change your form URL.

Thanks for the reply.

 

In sandbox, web-to-lead form generate the form URL like <form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">.

 

Even, I have tried placing different URL test.salesforce.com or cs7.salesforce.com but unable to locate the record in salesforce.

 

i normally use test.salesforce.com for login and it will redirect to cs7.salesforce.com

 

-------------------

 

I did uncomment the hidden field to check debug <input type="hidden" name="debug" value=1>

after submission, I have got following message...

 

Your request has been queued.

Record Information:

    oid: MY VALUE
    retURL: MY VALUE
    debug: 1
    email: t2@test.com
    first_name: Test
    last_name: TEst
    submit: Submit Query

 

But unable to find the record "t2@test.com" under "Lead" section.
