I can't fix this email form code.?

I have my web hosting through Yahoo and I've learned XHTML and CSS on my own. I wrote all of the markup, but I was having problems with my own forms, so I decided to try Yahoo's Email form Add On.

Everything looks great but when I test the Submit function, it takes me to a screen that says "Incorrect request to userForm."

I've followed all of the instructions (including editing my alternate email address) and I talked to tech support, who told me that the code is incomplete and to copy and paste it over again. But the code is the same:

<form method=post action="http://us.1.p12.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login={...

Please note, I replaced my login information with the {email} just in case it's unsafe to put that out there.

Any recommendations? I thought putting form method="post" in quotations would help, but no go.

Thanks.

Update 2:

<form method=post action=

"http://us.1.p12.webhosting.yahoo.com/

forms?login={login}">

There we go! The {login} I put in there replaces my login information. As far as I know, it's not javascript, just XHTML. This is the code the program tells you to copy and paste.

    You'll need to chop up your code into short pieces for it to display correctly on here.

    Like:

    <form method=post action="

    http://us.1.p12.webhosting.yahoo.com/for...

    ">

    <input type=...

    <input...

    </form>

    is the form in javascript? it should pass over information when submitted, for example a simple email newsletter button would have a text field for email addy and on submit would pass the information into a script/ database? its where web dev gets hard is the sever side stuff.
