Forms

Form scripts allow someone viewing your Website to fill out a form that will be emailed to you. If you can't find this CGI (mailform.cgi) in your cgi-bin directory contact us and we will copy it to your directory.


Example of how to set-up your html pages to submit forms.

This is the path to the mailform.cgi.

<FORM ACTION="http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/MailForm.cgi" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="x-www-form-encoded">

This is where the email is sent.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="your email address">

This is the subject of the email.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="New Form ">

This is what html file your visitor see after submitting the form. Usually a thank you page.

<INPUT TYPE= "hidden" NAME="location" VALUE="url of your return page">

 

Example:

<FORM ACTION="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/MailForm.cgi" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="x-www-form-encoded">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="billing@artnet.net">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="New User Form">

<INPUT TYPE= "hidden" NAME="location" VALUE="http://anet.net/return.html">
