First let me start by saying any help is greatly needed. my site url is www.newlinestuff.com there is two forms in witch i'm trying to complete and they are the http://www.newlinestuff.com/oppform.html the problem is that when you fill in the info and hit submit for me it wants to use outlook express to send it then when i get it in my email its with an attachment datapost.att and i cant open it?? so what can i do to correct this also the other form is located at www.newlinestuff.com/order.html

thanks again

That's because the action is set to email it instead of using a processing script. Normally, when you want it to email something to you, you use a perl script, or a php script, which processes the information that was submitted in the forum, and then emails it off. If you have php available on your server (pretty much every server, unless it runs windows server), I wrote a little quick tutorial on how to set that up here: http://www.webmasters-forum.net/foru...read.php?p=817

Let me know if you can't get that wo work, or if php isn't available on your site, and I'll find a perl script that you can run.

Thanks for such a quick response. I did try to understand what you posted, what i tried was taken the form code you posted and inputting in into my html for the form and then just taken that php file and saving in in the same location also i didn't know what to change the stripslashes to if i need to?

thanks some more info would be great!

Well i take that back i did get it to work, however there is one problem..the information that i want to get out of that form is there email address the city state and postal code (CAN) and then there message..i guess i dont know how to code that and also if you can help me with coden the
www.newlinestuff.com/order.html how would i get that information coded?

thanks again i think you guys are amazing for knowing how this works with out even having to think about it! :>

I'll build a quick file for you that will email the information you need. I'll get it done some time tonight. This method also protects any spam bots that roam websites looking for email addresses. This will reduce the spam you receive at those email addresses.

Ok, first backup those 2 pages just in case I really screwed something up, and then upload all the files in this zip files to overwrite those 2 files: http://www.dewknight.com/images/files.zip

Test them out, make sure they send the right stuff to your email address, I didn't have time to test it out, but it should work right.

Man i cant say how thankful i'm for that....that works wounders for me! thanks you.

Jeff

another for you is, how would i make that one order.html page password protected. just one pass and one username for everyone..but so that you cant just view source and get it! :> cheers

Jeff

hmm...... you want people to not be able to submit it without the password, or do you not want them to even view without a password... are you thinking like some sort of bot protection thing here.. or is the password for something...?

well, i dont want that page to me viewed without a password.

cheers

I also have an issue with products.html I cant get the table to align center??? and look proper.
