I can see why, your other email form appears to have no checking
whatsoever. It will even allow you to send an empty message, bet its a
real spam relay! You need to do a little Googling on how to secure form
to email scripts!
I tested it out on a few users but they got confused

Well, I can think of an easier way and it can work for multiple form
wherever on the page. Just style your warning DIV to be big enough to
cover your forms then place markup just within your FORM but styling has
the FORM positioned absolute with a left value of say -999em, then all
you have to do is toggle between left as -999em and 'auto'
Here is a slapped together demo:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<style type="text/css">
FORM { margin: .5em; padding: 1em; border: 1px solid #aaa;
background-color: #ddd; }
..warn {
position: absolute;
/* init out of sight and size to cover largest form*/
left: -999em; width: 20em; height: 20em;
/* set margin to offset whatever your form's padding is... */
margin: -1.5em auto auto -1.5em;
padding: 1em; border: 1px solid #f00;
color: #f00; background-color: #fcc;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Quick & Dirty test JS
function testIt(id){
var me=document.getElementById(id);
me.onclick=resetIt;
me.style.left="auto";
}
function resetIt(){
var me=this;
me.style.left="-999em;"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer ... some filler
....
<!-- first test form we'll float left -->
<form style="float: left;">
<div class="warn" id="warn1">This will be your warning box</div>
<div>
EMAIL: <input type="text" size="34"><br>
<input type="button" onclick="testIt('warn1')" value="Test">
</div>
</form>
<p>
Pellentesque eros purus, consequat sit amet, more filler ...
<!-- 2nd test form we'll float right -->
<form style="float: left;">
<div class="warn" id="warn2">This will be your 2nd warning box</div>
<div>
EMAIL: <input type="text" size="34"><br>
<input type="button" onclick="testIt('warn1')" value="Test">
</div>
</form>
....

Take care,
