I have modified a bootstrap form for my own usage. This email form collects Name, Email, Phone & Question inputs. The user hits the send button and it emails the information to a predetermined email address.
I'd like to have the ability to optionally capture the user's phone number. I've removed the required & data-validation-required-message tags and added name="phone".
Right now the below inputs will only send the email to the predetermined address IF there is a phone number in the phone input field... I'd like it to send the email regardless of a phone number or not.
What am I overlooking?
