Apologies, I am a novice!

In Dreamweaver I have designed a form with a submit button and I would like the completed form emailed to me. In the properties for the form I have added the cgi-bin of my ISP. Where do I link the submit button to auto email the form to me?

The submit code is:


<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Submit&quot; value=&quot;Send&quot;>

Apologies but I am a new, non techie user ..so, all (polite!) advice will be welcome.

Thanks
 
Hi, bazzak, you would enter:

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Submit&quot; value=&quot;Send&quot; ACTION=&quot;yourscriptname.cgi&quot;>
I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
 
Guju,

Don't you think it's better to add the form action to the Form tag?

<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;cgi-bin/youscript.pl&quot;>

That is the way I have always done a form submission. Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
