I'm creating a simple feedback form, and i need to know
if there is any way to receive the information from
recipients by e-mail, going straight into my database. I
don't have a website hence my query!! I will be sending
the form as an attachment to an e-mail.
Not having a Web site is going to be a real problem.
First, not all mail programs support HTML forms the same
way, and some don't support them at all. This is to
prevent JavaScript code in the form from collecting and
submitting information from the visitor's computer without
the visitor's knowledge.
Second, once someone fills out the form and submits it,
how are you going to receive the output? The form
submission has a URL that goes to a Web server, and you
need to provide an ASP PAGE, or an ASP.NET page, or some
other kind of form handler that updates the database,
sends the mail, or whatever.
This is why virtually all designers mail out links to
forms on Web sites, rather than the forms themselves.
