How to make a webpage form email the results?
So I made a registration form in Frontpage (yeah yeah, sorry) but it uses frontpage extensions on the server in order to work correctly, and I don't have FP extensions on my webspace. I want the results emailed to me automatically, but when I use Action="mailto:gear02@gotapex.com" it opens the users email program, which I don't want to happen. I just want when the user submits the form, a confirmation page appears and the results are emailed to me.
Can someone please help? TIA. |

To do what you are asking... requires that the server you are hosting from have some sort of script in place to perform the action of sending an "automatic email".
Check with your web host to see if they support this feature on their server with specialized software. Pretty much, I don't think you can make this work "client side" as that function is out of the "web sandbox". This is why an email box opens and gives the user the choice to send in an email... you can generate the call to open it, but it will not perform the action on its own.

If you can use PHP, use the top link on this http://www.holotech.net/scripts.html page.

I really can't get phorm to work, and I can't see what error I get since I get a generic webpage from my host rather than the page containing the error...

do a search for form mail on hotscripts.com and see if any of those will work for you.

I got it to work. Duke already has a system in place and all you have to do is call it. The problem is that they bury this information in some hole.
Thanks for your help! |

Most decent webservers have the scripts in place to do what you were asking... but yeah, if they never tell you about them, then it just seems impossible. Glad you figured it out.  |
