Hidden Email Address

[Guest]

I am a new Frontpage 2003 user. I am looking to create a form and send the
responses to either one or two email address. Is there a way to hide the
email address so the website users can not see them.

Also, can you enter a hyperlink on a page (Example - Contact Us Icon) and
link it to an unseen email address.

My reason for this is that we have individual email address at our company
and not a general email box. We do not always want individual adresses
public.

Thanks for your help

You would need to use server-side scripting (ASP, PHP, etc.) to process the form/email and not the
FP Form Handler.

If your host supports mail forwarding, have the form send e-mail to
"(e-mail address removed)" and then auto-forward from there to the
individual/personal accounts.

In conjunctin with a email-sending script, if it allows you to, use a field
such as

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="(e-mail address removed)">

The method of using a hidden form field leaves the value of any such fields open to the world. If
you can see it doing a view source in the browser then every robot can see it. The only way to hide
the email address is with a server-side script.

So it's not so "hidden" after all?

In hindsight, I know, the *best* way is to embed the email in the actual
script itself.

Correct.
