I used the module writing tutorial provided in the docs to create a simple module, which displays a contact form on the frontend and then once the user enters the relevant details the module fills up the database and makes this info available to the admin in the admin panel. However this is the intended action of the module but, the module is behaving strangely.

The issue is, the module displays the front-end form sometimes, and it doesn't the other. The appearance and disappearance is very random. Sometimes if I leave the browser window idle for sometime the front-end form disappears. However, the module continues to work perfectly on the admin side.

I have even re-wrote the module again, still this behavior continues and confuses me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Please ask for any other info that is needed.
Thank You very much!

Sometimes if I leave the browser window idle for sometime the front-end form disappears.

This tells me that the issue is almost certainly not with the module
s PHP code. But could be related to the generated HTML, or javascript errors, or plugins in your browser.

You will need to use a process of elimination to isolate exactly what the problem is. i.e: if you use a different browser, with no plugins... does the problem reproduce? have you checked the javascript console for errors? Does the HTML validate?
