Email Information

Guest · Apr 4, 2004

I am trying to collect name, phone and email from users on my website, have them click a submit button and have that information emailed to me. I'm not having any luck in FrontPage. Am I missing something? Does someone have a form example/source code that I could look at
Thanks
Here is my source code
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"><meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"><title>EMAIL US</title></head><body><form method="POST" name="frmEmail" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"><p>EMAIL US...</p><p>NAME: <input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></p><p>EMAIL: <input type="text" name="T2" size="20"></p><p>COMMENTS: <textarea rows="5" name="S1" cols="50"></textarea></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><input type="button" value="Button" name="B3"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p></form></body></html>

Renee,

The FrontPage form requires the FrontPage Server
Extensions properly installed on the server and publishing
with FrontPage to http location.

If you need help getting started with forms, try this link

You need to start over with a clean page, and use the Form Page wizard to
create your input form.

File > New > Page or Web , then click Page Templates and the select Form
page wizard.
Create the form fields items you want to collect

When you use this method how do you set it so the results get emailed? The
only choices I see are web page, text file, or custom CGI.

Under Tools | Page Options | Compatibility tab, make sure you have the FP extensions enabled, etc.

Hi Renee

There might be a second problem; Your web host may, for whatever
reason chosen not to install the extensions that work for FP MailForm. I
happen to have a host that has all versions of FP extensions (98 - 2002 at
least) installed except that not all of the FP extensions are installed for
security reasons (whatever they may be), but they did do one thing, for
whatever they did not install on the FP extensions they put in a functional
substitute. So it may very well be a host problem.

FP extensions are installed. I have used email forms before, but every time
I try and create a new one it does not work. I have contacted my host and
they insure me that it should work. Any ideas?

Have you tried creating the form directly on the remote server in FP?

Is that the same as creating it "live"? If not, how do I create it directly
on the remote server?

Jesse,

Personal opinion: Always start with a URL for your
offending page.

You currently have your E-Mail Results set to HTML. Try
setting this to Formatted text and then republish. You may
need to empty your browser cache in order to be sure you
are viewing the newly published page.

Just a reminder: The FrontPage form requires the working
extensions as well as publishing with FrontPage to http
location.

In addition, in order to submit the email, the server will
require SMTP in order to actually send the form mail.

Mike-

I followed the tutorial on your page to a "T". I still cannot get it to
work. I have used them before and it is really starting to bug me.

The form saves the results correctly to a .txt.file, but does not send it to
email

Sound like your host has not configure the extensions to process email or you have specific an email
address that is outside of your domain.

Ok, then the host has to check the email settings for the extensions.
