How do I add an auto-reply email to a Form?

 

[Steve Easton]

That has to be configured on the server, it's not a form option

You don't. Check with your web host for available options.

[Guest]

There is a courtesy reply function in the Advanced functions of the Form
properties in Frontpage, but I can't get them to work. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

How do I add an auto-reply email to a Form?

 

[Ronx]

Which version of FrontPage? That has not existed in any version between 95
and 2003.

You *can* specify the Replyto address to be a field in the form (in
Form-Properties->Options->email tag), but this only specifies the ReplyTo
address in the email the recipient receives.

Form-Properties->Advanced only allows the addition of hidden fields to the
form.

How do I add an auto-reply email to a Form?

 

[Guest]

Here's where I got the info: http://www.uwec.edu/help/Fpage03/for-replymes.htm

But it doesn't work. I even added courtesy_send value="yes" as another site
said it had to have that. Still doesn't send it.

What I'm trying to do is when it sends me the information from the form
(including the email address they fill in the form with), I want an email
going back to them that says thanks and that we'll be with them shortly. I
had an auto-reply set up on my website's server, but the email sending me the
form data comes with my email address as the from address and the form email
address as the reply to and the website sends their auto reply email to the
from address.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

[Ronx]

If you explore that site further, you will find that the form is being set
up for use with the version of formmail.pl used by University of Wisconsin,
not for the FrontPage extensions.

[Ronx]

Can you change the auto-responder to use the ReplyTo address?
If not, then you will have to write, or find, your own formhandler using a
server-side language (ASP, .NET, php, Perl/CGI etc.) supported by your host.

[Guest]

Thank you SO much for all your information. I used to be a web developer but
it's been years. If I have a form created by Frontpage that is a html form,
can I add coding that will send the reply I want to the address they typed in
my email field? If so, any suggestions of where to go to get the info on the
code needed?

Thanks.

If you use the FrontPage extensions to process the form, then, as Tom has
said, you cannot change anything.
For finding alternative code, first check what technologies your host will
support.
For Perl/CGI and PHP look around www.sourceforge.net (do a search for
formmail)
For an ASP solution on a Windows server look at
