Default e-mail sent confirmation page - 11-05-2005 , 07:08 PM






I am using dreamweaver mx 05.

I have created 2 very simple forms on two seperate pages.

One form just asks a few simple questions.

The other asks for an e-mail address.

I would like the info sent to my e-mail address for the website.

My question is:

How do I create an action whereby, once the user presses submit they are then
diverted to an info received page.

I am referring to a very big Dreamweaver MX Bible, but it doesn't mention a
'how to..' for the above anywhere in the book.

Help?

You do this using a mail script of which there are many free ones on the
web.

Depending on your host server language you can use PHP, CGI ASP no doubt
there are others.

One common one is formail so do a google search for that.

Depeding on how you setup the script it will duplicate the form to the
sender and check from field validity etc,.

You often have to play around with server privilages and most ISP will not
help you with scripting problems.

For my part I use a commercialprogram which as they say works for me called
forms togo

http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/

Take a look I use it because for many reasons first it only costs $18, fhas
ree upgrades for life, emeeds email addresses so no spam is received and it
has the abilility to create from one set of data php,cgi or ASP scripts.

hope this helps
