Hello

I am trying to create a comment box where users can add their comment and then submit it where it is automatically displayed in a marquee.
I am a bit stuck on this:

<form method="post" action="mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com"

What must I replace mailto with to make it post to a page?

Kind regards

Antony

You're going to need to learn server-side coding to achieve what you're trying to create.
It can't be done with HTML alone.

If it was that easy to post comments to a page, I could spoof some HTML and deface every website known to man.

Gary and wayfarer, that's not going to help him. You 2 are just saying that he can't do anything else than learn something.

Well tonyjms, I would suggest that you maybe tried something like php. I know this is hard to do, but it's quite simple! You will need to learn php and mysql, if you want it to run without problems.

I'm want to show you this site:
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP

Read about it, it can't hurt you

And here is something about mysql:

If your server doesnt allow php and mysql, which I'm sure they do, then I don't know what you have to do. Well I know this isnt going to help you a lot, but you could check it out.

read these 2 article. may it helps you.

Hi Tony,

I applaud your desire to learn and write your own comment/shout box. If you have no experience with actual programming you'll find it hard to write one from scratch. It would require using a server side scripting language and probably a database. Two very popular ones are PHP (scripting) and MySQL (database).

An alternative is to use a ready made one. If you search a site like Hotscripts or even just Google for something like 'php comment box' or 'php shout box' you should find lots.

Thanks,
John.

This will definitely need to be done via PHP or .Net code to achieve the results you are looking for.
