So I kinda coded a webpage...

[el_novato]

(Greetings)

...using the example from www.w3schools.com. It's a simple form that sends an email when completed. But now I have a couple of questions:

1. When I open the page, and enter text into the fields...nothing happens when I click the reset button or when I click send. Is it because it's not actually hosted?

2. Also, is it possible to send the email to more than one person upon clicking Send?

I think I had one more question, but I can't remember. I'll post it later if I do. I'll attach the file in case you'd like to see it. Its 90% finished. Thanks!

e.n.

(I couldn't attach the HTM file so I attached the .txt file.)

After playing with it some more, I've answered question 1. But now, the problem is that when I click to send the email, it opens up my email client but it's blank. No information was carried over. Any suggestions?

You have a set of nested

PHP Code:

<form></form> 


tags after the following lines:
"Service Center Location"
and
"

PHP Code:

<option value="Wichita">Wichita Service Center
</select> 


" remove it and it should work.

for 2. You can't do it unless you host your emails somewhere and have setup mail forwarding.

I really can't recommend anyone writing their own email forms nowadays. Spammers have switched from open relays to email forms to send out spam. Okay to play around with but putting a form on a public website can be quite dangerous.

Ok...thanks for the responses. Question #1 is answered and fixed.

Could you please elaborate on your reponse to question #2? The email client is Lotus Notes 6.5.

Mairving:
The webpage will be hosted on the company intranet.

Now the problem is that when I click send, it does not carry any information into the email that opens up. Any idea why?

Say, you have a hosted domain called webelnovato.com create a mail forwarding account called form@webelnovato.com and have that email address forward to all the accounts you actually want receiving the email. On the webpage, use the form recipient as form@webelnovato.com

Ok...cool...I understand what you're saying. Thanks! Now...the last problem, is that it won't carry the info over. Any idea why?

Anyone have any input on why it won't carry the information over? Even in the example from w3schools, it opens up the email client but it's just blank. I've worked everything else out...and this is the only hiccup holding me back from presenting a final working copy, if you will, to the boss.

Thanks in advance
