Answer 1

You should be using id as a unique identifier instead of name.

Is there a particular reason that you need to set the name though? You can just remove the name declaration unless there's a reason for it.

Answer 2

Use ID.

<form action="mail.php" class="contactForm" id="cform" method="post">
