HTML - Issue With Sending Data From A Form.
I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to send data from a form directly to an email address without being redirected to the user's default email app or using a CGI script. I have little to no background in PERL and while I realize I'm going to have to become well versed in it (and am in the process of learning it) I need a solution to this immediate problem. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.
Below is the relevant block of code: ********* <form method=post action="mailto:youremailaddress@user.com" enctype="text/plain"> <table width="90%" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"> <font face="times" color="#000340" size="3"> Name: <br /><br /></td><td width="*" valign="top"> <input type="text" name="Name" size="20" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"><font face="times" color="#000340" size="3">Company: <br /><br /> </td> <td width="*" valign="top"><input type="text" name="Company" size="20"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"><font face="times" color="#000340" size="3">Company Address: <br /><br /> </td> <td width="*" valign="top"><input type="text" name="Address" size="20"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"><font face="times" color="#000340" size="3">Zip Code: <br /><br /> </td> <td width="*" valign="top"><input type="text" name="ZipCode" size="20"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"><font face="times" color="#000340" size="3">Phone: <br /><br /> </td> <td width="*" valign="top"><input type="text" name="Phone" size="20"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"><font face="times" color="#000340" size="3">Email Address: <br /><br /> </td> <td width="*" valign="top"><input type="text" name="email" size="20"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" valign="top"><font face="times" color="#000340" size="3">Requested Product(s): <br /><br /> </td> <td width="*" valign="top"><textarea cols="20" rows="4" name="comment" ></textarea><br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <br /><br /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> Similar TutorialsI have an online form done in html. I need the person to be able to submit the form first and then be able to print the form after they have sent it. How can this be done? Thanks Hi, its been many years since i've done any website / html work but a friend of mine asked me to help him add a form to his marriage website that basically works as a RSVP option. he wants people to be able to add their name and click if they are going to be attending or not...click submit and have it send it to his e-mail. Making the form was easy (and i won't bore u with the code), the only problem i'm having with is how to make the submit button send an e-mail. I did some looking and it seems like its going to require the user to have sending e-mails enabled thru their browser? does anyone know of an easy way to do this (preferably one that doesn't require the user to have any sort of brain) ? Simple is better and all i need is a quick fix thx for any help bigunn Hi I am learning XHTML and was wondering if you could help me to give me the tag on how to send a form by email in 'clean' text (no word1+word2+word3... format). I have tried several things and failed. Thank you in advance if you can help. Really dumb question... How do you get the forms to send to your e-mail account? I need a simple, easy-to-set-up-but-relieable way to do it. Hello I've searched the web for a simple form code that has a "submit" button, so that when a user clicks it I will receive an email with the submitted data - but - I want the user to click "submit" without being transferred to his default email program. I want him only to enter the data and when he presses the button, the data will be sent to my email. I want to put this code in a blog that supports HTML. What code can I use for it? I hope I made my question clear. I will really be happy to receive your help. Thank you very much. hi. I put up 2 forms on my site bwsciencelabs.com and they both work well, except they won't send. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Hi guys - sorry for this dumb post but It's my first go at this. I am using a simple form to pull in a user name and add it to a URL. However, it is converting -]^ etc to HEX. code: <form name="input" action="http://www.eclive.org/shotdetails.aspx" method="get"> Username: <input type="text" name="user"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> If I input user name -]Sa^Bison it returns this: http://www.eclive.org/shotdetails.as...-%5DSa%5EBison I have tried method="post" and that does not even pass the input accross. If I type the URL in manually it works great and returns the results I want, as in http://www.eclive.org/shotdetails.aspx?user=-]Sa^Bison I know it's going to be obvious here but ... Any help appreciated!! I am trying to create a form in HTML that will allow the user to select a department from a drop down and also enter their email address. on submit the form will be sent to the email address corresponding to the department as well as sending the user a copy of the form(the email address they entered manually). This code only sends the form to Dept1 & Dept2. If I move the "email_count" input field before "name1" then it sends the user email and the Dept1 email only. This works great if they select Dept1 each time, not so much if a different department is chosen. Any help would be great! I don't have access to the cgi code. Here is what I have so far: <form action="http://intranet/cgi-bin/genemail.cgi" method="POST" enctype="x-www-form-encoded" class="body" name="theform" onSubmit="return formCheck()"> <input type="hidden" name="FORM" value="IDEA Form"> <input type="hidden" name="sendto" value="MORE_EMAIL"> <input type="hidden" name="name1" value="Dept1"> <input type="hidden" name="email1" value="Dept1@email.com"> <input type="hidden" name="name2" value="Dept2"> <input type="hidden" name="email2" value="Dept2@email.com"> <input type="hidden" name="name3" value="Dept3"> <input type="hidden" name="email3" value="Dept3@email.com"> <input type="hidden" name="name4" value="Dept4"> <input type="hidden" name="email4" value="Dept4@email.com"> <input type="hidden" name="email_count" value="2"><!--for email to submitter--> Here is the option box: <select name="name_choice"> <option selected>Dept1</option> <option>Dept2</option> <option>Dept3</option> <option>Dept4</option> </select> Here is the text box that the user will enter their email address: <input name="email5" type="text" value="first.last@email.com" size="50" id="UserEmail"> Here is my submit code; <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> Hope someone can help me. I've got a html page set up so that my clients can type in their name, choose several options via radio buttons, an option to clear the form, then submit the form. What I'm having trouble with is how to obtain the information from the form. I think I would prefer this to be retrieved via email. Is there a way I can: 1. Have the subject of the email be the name of the client (whatever they type in) 2. The results of the form sent to my email (let's say it's myemail@university.edu) Thanks in advance!

When I send it the <meta> tag contains "charset=iso-8859-8" - Hebrew(ISO-Visual) but when the recipiant opens it the charset has changed to "charset=iso-8859-8-i" - Hebrew(ISO-Logical) which causes the text to appear left-to-right instead of right-to-left as I sent it. What causes this behaviour and how can I correct it? Thanks for any help David Paddling upstream searching for the source So I've got a form with some input text. In addition to the data in the input text I want to send some other data that has already been predetermined on initial page load. How would I declare the other data within the form element? Thanks I have been using my site for some time now and it carries the image name over when you clicked on purchasing the print. It carries it still, but when you submit the form, the image name isnt there and the form errors because the field is blank. Here is the site: www.sthompsonphoto.com I cant seem to figure out why it disappears when you click Submit? Any help would be great! Hi everybody! I have a jsp page with a form and a table.

I have already collected the data in a Java class,but I dont know how to introduce this data into the table. Best Regards! Hi, Does anyone knows how to disable updateMetaData function? I'm creating a website using Photoshop web gallery. I have however customised the pages one by one to change the look. There is a function in the main index page or thumbnails that overrides my changes when it calls for the meta data info. Also block the content wich I want to avoid. Any ideas on how to disable this function? I've attached a few example files. I'd appreciate any help. Tks Hi all, I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc. Can this be done? Thanks I have a simple signup form on my site that I want to pass the input to the larger signup form. Here is the code for the simple form: <form action="http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8"> The larger signup form is located he http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp I want the email address from the simple form to move to the larger form when the submit button is pressed. Ideas? Hello all! I've been lurking in these forums for a good while as I've recently started dabbling in web design. As such, I find myself stumped. Despite my relatively thorough search on Google I've yet to find anything that points me in the right direction. I assume I'm simply not using the right terminology in my searches. Hopefully the community here can help me out. In short I have a chat applet that I'm trying to get a "Report Member" function working in. Users can right click on a member and select "Report Member". From there I have a page on my site called Report.htm and that particular URL. The chat applet provides information on the end of that URL. Here is an example URL: Code: http://www.siteurl.com/report.htm?username=JohnDoe&roomname=Main+Room&showuser=2264826&uid=2264826&srcuid=2264826&srcusername=JaneDoe Essentially, JaneDoe is reporting JohnDoe for who knows what. When the report is made they're sent to the placeholder report page with all the details at the end of the URL. If possible, I'd like the Report.htm page to have a form in it where the information for the form is prefilled (and uneditable) from the information provided by the URL. Essentially the form would roughly look like the following: Username of Member: JohnDoe Your Username: JaneDoe Room: Main Room Report: (This would be the only editable section) After filling out the report they'd hit submit and it'd get emailed to the moderating staff. Is this something handled on the server side of things? If so I've potentially posted this in the wrong subforum, but I assumed it was something that could be done via form tags in HTML (though I do know some script would be needed for the actual submission of the form). My server uses PHP, if that information is useful. With all that said, is this possible? If so, what can help get me started in learning how to do this? I've spent a good deal of time looking around on Google but nothing seems to be quite what I want or, more likely, I'm simply not using the right search terms. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hey guys I'm having a crazy form issue now. I almost have this project wrapped up. Also Thank you very much to the members who have contributed to this. So heres the deal I have a <textarea> box on my form. For some crazy reason it automatically populates with some blank text. My server side code has some error handling stuff I put in to make sure this area isn't blank before processing the code, however since it populates with blank spaces it allows it to bypass this area. I'm totally lost on how this can be. Im sure its something stupid I have done. Here is the code, html first then css, Also here is a link to the page online now. http://www.marylovesshopping.com/ContactUs.html Code: <p class="form">Comments or Requests: (Required)<br /> <textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="40"> </textarea></p> Code: #content p {
margin:16px 0;
font-size:13px;
text-align:justify;
}
.form p {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
overflow:auto;
}
Hi Everyone! Having a little issue with getting a contact form to function properly. I only tinker around with html and web design as a whole, but I will try to expain my issue and not sound too lame. I am trying to add a contact form to a website i modified for a band. The contact form is simple, Name, email, and submit. However, the template utilizes a second html page embedded within the main page as a whole. check out www.alttheory.com to see what I mean. The area in the upper Right hand area where I am attempting to put this form. It is a separate html page called iframe.html. At the code's current position, the submit button is not doing anything at this point. The code that a friend sent me who has no problem getting it to work on his site is he <div id="apDiv1"> <form action="sendmail.php" method="post"> <p><img src="images/contentemail.png" width="137" height="26" /> <input name="email" type="text" /> <img src="images/contactmessage.png" width="169" height="25" /> <textarea name="message" cols="24" rows="8" id="name"></textarea> <input name="submit" type="image" src="/images/contactsubmit.png" width="100" height="33"/> </p> I then place the sendmail.php in the main directory which is also supposed to work, after changing the send to email to my own and create and specify the thanks.html page. the sendmail.php code i am trying to use is he <?php $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; mail( "myemail@mail.com", "Feedback Form Results", $message, "From: $email" ); header( "Location: http://www.band.com/thankyou.html" ); ?> Can anyone see what I am doing wrong and offer some guidance? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks. Best, Bill Hi, I am trying to create a form that emails me a copy of the form results (if possible in a pretty format) and then redirects the user to another page. I don't want the user to use a .php or .asp page if possible, I would prefer to keep the user on a .html page. If its possible for the form to use an external page or code that the user never sees then this is fine. Cheers! Sam |
