(part 3 of Email Form scripts)
3. FORM2MAIL
Form2Mail is very similar to AnyForm.
Before using the script seriously, read the instructions on
the Form2Mail Home Page
http://www.webcenter.co.uk/form2email.html
I have put a worked example of a Form2Mail form at
http://www.netjunk.com/users/websitebyemail/forms04.html
You are welcome to get the page and look at the HTML to see
how it works. The code for the FORM element alone will be in
the next tutorial message.
Like most form scripts, Form2Mail has a hidden field for a
'thank you' page -- a page telling the users that the data
have been submitted successfully.
However, if you submit using ACCMail methods, you will get what
seems to be an error message, something like this ...
Could not fetch
http://webcenter.co.uk/cgi-bin/mail.cgi
An Error Occurred
==================
302 - Found
Cannot automatically redirect POST requests (see
RFC 1945). Manually redirect to:
http://www.netjunk.com/users/websitebyemail/thanks04.html
Again, you should interpret this as a SUCCESS message. It is
just telling you where to find the 'thank you' page. Online
users will see the page automatically (assuming it exists),
and the data will arrive in your emailbox as expected.
I have designed my form to be GetWeb-friendly, so you can
try it out for yourself if you want to.
