I am new to scripts.

I would like to create a form on an .html page
(using Dreamweaver)

After creating the form page, I am at the dead end.

Could someone please direct me to some simple instructions
regarding what script to use and where to insert the
script on the page (where is goes).

Thank you very much,
Brad

2) You'll need tp tell just what you want this script to do.

@frankzAug 24.2004 — well, if you have created a form page you have to have somewhere to send the form when the "submit" button is pressed,

I think you are eluding to the fact that you want to send the form to a script, which will parse it and either email it or ship it off to another page on the server.

so you need to send the form to a script in your cgi-bin or directory with read write execute privaleges.

is this what you are referring to?

@BradKauthorAug 24.2004 — What I wish to do is to create a form in Dreamweaver.

This form will have text fields for which will a prospect

will complete.

They will then click on "submit"

I have no knowledge or experience with anything past that.

What needs to be done in order for the form to be

emailed to me?

Thank you again for any assistance,

Brad

@frankzAug 24.2004 — you need to put an action attrib in the form tag like this

<form action="mailto:[email protected]" >

then when the submit button is pressed it will go to you

here is a page that explains it

http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/HTML/Forms/mailto.html


however, the form will come into your email with a lot of extra baggage text, your host should have a formmail script where you can send it , and that would format it and fire it off to your email account, the script could be in asp,perl,php, depending on your server platform and you have to set that script up.


peace
