I have a submit button on my page. But where is it being submitted to? How do I define this and how do I retrieve the info being submitted? Do I have to create another page or file to receive the files?

@LeeUJul 11.2006 — Generally it would listed in the form portion, i.e.,
[CODE]<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/mailprog.cgi">[/CODE]

@rayn30authorJul 11.2006 — In the "action" can't email address be put in there?


I was also thinking of setting up a asp. file to recieve the info submitted, but how do you set up a ASP. file to recieve the info?

Strongly NOT recommended - unless you want your email address to be spammed. Even obfuscation is vulnerable to manual extraction.

Server-side languages are really outside the scope of this section of the forum - there is a [url=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9]separate ASP section[/url].

I'd do some research about which server side language you wanted to use, before committing to ASP, though.

Success!
