Form is ignoring where I am trying to send it

[eluser]Bruno43[/eluser]
Probably a simple question and sorry a head of time but I have
<?php echo form_open('contact/send'); ?>

But its ignoring wherever I am trying to send it to and just self submitting as a get.

No errors are being thrown up, its not even trying to hit the /send event.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
