Front Page Forms - Server Extensions

[neparker]

I am trying to create a form that when the customer hits the submit
button, it sends me an email. Now the thing is, my ISP doesn't support
Server Extensions. I know there is a way around this, but I haven't a
clue on how to get is set up.

Any suggestions?

Yes, sure is
Go to http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/formtest.html

Do a view source and save the code. You can then modify it as you want.

The basic (javascript) code needed is
window.location = "mailto:" + "name" + "@" + "domain" + ".com"
+ "?subject=Response%20from%20Form"
+ "&body=" + body
You alter the text "name" "domain", "Response%20from%20Form" and the
variable body as you wish.
The variable body contains the results from the form as you can see in my
code.

If you need help in understanding my code, let me know.

Of course, there must be a email program installed on the viewer's PC for
this to work.

How unlikely is it that this would *not* be the case ??

Ask your host what they do support: ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI, their own
script, etc.
