Default Form Action Assistance 101 - 07-07-2004 , 12:57 PM






I'm a new dream weaver user and have been struggling for weeks trying to
get my form data results emailed to me.

When I was on Earthlink servers, using Front Page I filled in the blanks
and the form results were emailed to me reliablely (CGI / Post Method).

Front Page HTML Action:

<form method="POST" name="Contact_Us" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"
onsubmit="location.href='../_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"
language="JavaScript" webbot-onSubmit="return
FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
U-File="../_private/form_results.txt" S-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE"
S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="ken (AT) findandgo (DOT) com"
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields --><div align="left">

Now I'm on Powweb servers (CGI / Post Method) using Dream Weaver
7.0.01

My Form is located at:
http://findandgo.com/forms/contact_us.htm

Dream Weaver Default Action:
<form action="" method="post" name="contact_us" id="contact_us">

Please, can anyone help me by providing the correct Form Action to try?

Thank you in advanced.

The form's action attribute should point to the server side script (ASP,
PHP, CGI) that will process the form. Find out what scripting languages
are supported on the host, then go to http://hotscripts.com and find a
script in a supported language.
