Need help adding "Form" to website

[elrasho]

I have made a website and want to add a "contact us" bit where users can ask a question and it comes to my Outlook as an email. How do I do this??

Im using Frontpage for the website and www.freewebs.com to upload my website.

omfg, I know how to do this.

Unless it's html, if you have microsoft dreamweaver. I could walk you through it.

I have dreamweaver but Im using Frontpage. If you go in Insert>Forms u can do it there but I don’t know how to set it up with my Host so I can get the emails going to Outlook

hand coding FTW!!

If freewebs supports the mail function in PHP i'd walk you throw it handcoding it all.

Crap. Outlook, eh?

Why Outlook?. I dunno how to do that. srry

 

[elrasho]

I dont know what "handcoding" is and what "php" is. Im quite new to making websites. Is it hard to do using Frontpage? I can upload my website using FTP but I need to set up the Form and connect it to my Outlook

I only use Outlook as my email client

• <script>
• var x = 0;
• while (x!=1) {
• document.write('Bullets ftmfw[br]');
• }
• </script>

 

[VictimOfScience]

Just use a mailto link...geez!

 

[lePobz]

ASP or PHP? I've written form-mailer scripts for both (asp has an object to do it anyway)...

• <script>
• var x = 0;
• while (x!=1) {
• document.write('Bullets ftmfw[br]');
• }
• </script>

pfft, I have no idea why you added a while loop.

 

[elrasho]

forget about it, ill sort summat out

 

[DreadLord]

Summat indeed.

 

[Ikerous]

pfft, I have no idea why you added a while loop.

Because it'd write out 'Bullets ftmfw' over and over that way

Summat... i agree.

where users can ask a question and it comes to my Outlook as an email.

This is not possible without:
A) requiring the user to open his email client, typically by a mailto: link (mailto:[email protected]), or
B) implementing some server-side scripting: PHP, ASP, Perl, whatever.

Freewebs [url=http://newaccounts.freewebs.com/page.jsp?page=faqs#asp]does not support ASP, SQL, or PHP, though Perl is available. Google is your friend.

The only way you can do it is with a mailto built into a form, as your host does not support serverside scripting. Post the following into your page where you want the form to show up. The only thing you should need to change is the email address it goes to on the first line.

<form method=post action="mailto:[email protected]" enctype="text/plain">
<table>
	<tr>
		<td>Name: </td><td> <input type="text" name="name"></td></tr>
		<tr><td>email: </td><td> <input type="text" name="email"></td></tr>
		<tr><td valign="top">Question: </td><td><textarea name="question" 

rows="10"></textarea></td></tr>
	<tr><td><input type="submit" value="submit"></td></tr>

	</tr>
</table>
</form>

If you want something more advanced, you will need to move to a host that supports PHP.
