   Copy from page with form (which has 168 total lines):

       <form id="contact-form">
       <div class="success"> Contact form submitted!<br> <strong>We will 
be in touch soon.</strong></div>
       <fieldset>
        <label class="name">
         <input type="text" value="Name:">
         <span class="error">*This is not a valid name.</span>
         <span class="empty">*This field is required.</span>
         <span class="clear"></span>
        </label>
        <label class="email">
         <input type="text" value="E-mail:">
         <span class="error">*This is not a valid email address.</span>
         <span class="empty">*This field is required.</span>
         <span class="clear"></span>
        </label>
        <label class="phone">
         <input type="text" value="Phone:">
         <span class="error">*This is not a valid phone number.</span>
         <span class="empty">*This field is required.</span>
         <span class="clear"></span>
        </label>
        <label class="message">
         <textarea>Message:</textarea>
         <span class="error">*The message is too short.</span>
         <span class="empty">*This field is required.</span>
         <span class="clear"></span>
        </label>
        <div class="buttons"><span><a class="button" 
data-type="reset">Clear</a></span>
               <span><a class="button" 
data-type="submit">Submit</a></span></div>
       </fieldset>
      </form>

   Added--------------vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
      mailHandlerURL:'http://www.oil4lessllc.com/bat/MailHandler.php',
   Above from local ..js/forms.js; note added URL is not present for the
online website.

   In both cases, online website, or using local hard drive copy, when
'Submit' button is clicked, the form data is sent.
   That added info was required to make it work from the local hard drive.

   BUT, like I said, the form is not cleared when working local. That is 
why I saw 2-4 copies of the data in our e-mail inbox; I had clicked the 
button exactly that many times.
   Also I do not care about that difference or why.
