Hello all, I’m pretty new to the area of web design and im hope to get some help and offer some to others (the little I have)…. my first question relates to adding an email submission/feedback form on a website such that when the form is completed the contents gets emails to a specified email address. I searched around the Internet for a generic form that I could customize. The problem is after completing the form nothing happens…

I realize I don’t know all the details about email form and wondered if there was more to it than just the HTML script, should there be something on the server side. If anyone knows of any resources where I could read more about how to make an email form, or where I could find out all that is needed to make one that would be really helpful.

Thanks much for all your help,

Hi,
I think I'll help you with your problem and you will try to solve mine, k? ;D

Please post the code of you "mailer". I think you have something like this, don't you?

<form action="mailto:abc@abc.com">
<input name="lalalala">
....
</form>

That won't work. HTML is not able to send mails. What you need is some server side script. For example you could solve you problem with php:

<form action="sendmail.php" method="POST">
<input..>
...
</form>

In the sendmail.php you would use the mail function to actually send the mail to whereever you want to.
To find such a script I would suggest to look at www.hotscripts.com

You wil find PHP as well as ASP solutions.
