Sending forms to an email address. 1

[deathbyrice]

As a newcomer to Dreamweaver MX, I amazed at all the options I have. However, I come to ask a simple(?) question. How can I use a 'submit' button to forward a form to an email address?

you don't email the "form", you would want to email a link to the "form" which would them process the information on the server... is this what you're asking?

You can set the form action attribute to send the form.

ie

<form name=&quot;harry&quot;
action=&quot;mailto:billy@bobby.com?subject=Terry&quot;>



The form will be sent there - but to format the form you will need to use server side code(cgi/asp/php etc)

Sending Forms to an email address:

u can send an interactive HTML page (eg. RegisterNow.html) with form targets to your processing page with a full domain defined.


<form name=&quot;form1&quot;
action=&quot;

http://www.mysite.com/RegisterConf.asp&quot;>

assuming that client can process/read HTML format mail ....if not then u send the link:

http://www.mysite.com/RegisterNow.html

&quot;Sending Form Content to an email address&quot; is different topic.


All the best!

flicker of a star....is nothing more than a death of a burning piece of dirt.

&quot;<form name=&quot;harry&quot;
action=&quot;mailto:billy@bobby.com?subject=Terry&quot;>&quot;

this will NOT send anything but prime your defualt email program to start a new thread/email to &quot;billy@bobby.com&quot; with subject of &quot;Terry&quot;.....
That is all...
post more about what ur trying to accomplish....
ALl the best!
