FORM SUBMISSION TO AN EMAIL ADDRESS

[FARAZ QURESHI]

I am quite new and using Frontpage for the first time and sure am interested
in knowing if pressing the "submit" button on a form can help me forward the
data to a personal email address like msn/hotmail? If yes, how?

Thanx in advance.

Yes - but don't do it . You will get millions of spams.

If you still want to then right click the form and go to properties then use
the send to e mail address box. You would be better to send the details to a
database (if you have asp on your server).

Either use server side scripting (asp, asp.net, PHP, Perl/CGI - whatever
your host supports) to process the form data (write and send the email)
or use FrontPage extensions to send the email.

If your host has installed FrontPage extensions on your website, and has
enabled the email transport (some do not provide this feature - if not,
then you must use server side scripting) right click anywhere in the
form, choose Form Properties and complete the property sheets. Also
note that some hosts insist that emails from forms are sent to users
within the same domain as the website, and some hosts will NOT send form
email to some domains, including AOL, Hotmail, and Googlemail or gmail.

Your host may be able to provide a sample script for server side
scripting solutions.
