HTML - Form Submit Question
Hey all. I haven't designed a website in over 5 years and am extremely rusty. I'm trying to create a contact form and i have a question.
When i hit submit it opens up outlook and just fills in the too with the e-mail i choose and the body has the content of the form. I don't want it to do this. When i hit submit i want it to send the contents of the form to an e-mail of my choosing and then take you to another page that says "Thank You for your submission" or something along those lines. Right now i have: <form action="MAILTO:example@example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <h3>Please fill out the form below and someone will be in touch with you shortly.</h3> Name: <br/> <input type="text" name="name"/> <br/> City: <br/> <input type="text" name="city"/> <br/> State: <br/> <input type="text" name="state"/> <br/> Zip Code: <br/> <input type="text" name="zip"/> <br/> Phone #: <br/> <input type="text" name="phone"/> <br/> E-Mail: <br/> <input type="text" name="email" /> <br/> Comment: <br/> <textarea rows="10" cols="80" wrap="physical" name="comments"> </textarea> <br/> <br/> <input type="submit" value="Send"> <input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form> What am i missing and how do i go about doing what i want? Thanks in advance!!

Using the following code, how can I have the information sent to the email address and also redirected to another page when the user clicks submit. <html> <body> <FORM METHOD = Post action="mailto:code.bro@verizon.net" Enctype="text/plain"> First Name: <input type ="text" name="firstname"/>   Last Name: <input type ="text" name="lastname"/> <br/> <br/><dd/> Comments orSuggestions: <br/><dd/> <textarea name="comment" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea> </textarea> <input name="redirect" Type="hidden" value="index.html"> <input name="next_url" Type="hidden" value="index.html"> <br>           <input type = "submit" value="send"> <input type = "reset" value="clear"> </form> </body> </html> hey all, Thanks for looking at my issue, what i am trying to do is as follows! On my page http://cre8tivepixels.com/Quote%20form.html I have a quote form up the top, that works fine, i then added a section where models could send me three photos, when you click on these tabs it loads the photo up, but all i get is an email with the photo names but NO photos? What do i have to put in my script to make it so i recieve there jpegs, and not just the name of the file? Can this even be achieved? Basically i want the photos that a model submits to be delivered in my email address the same as my Quote Form above? Hope that makes sence? Cheers Dan I have a form with a number of elements. One of these elements is: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> Clicking on that element makes the form submit. But if I add a similar element: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit2" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> ...clicking on that also makes the form submit. So was wondering if anyone knew what the rules were for which elements make a form submit? Cheers, James Hello, I am new at web design, and frustrated by a Submit button constantly opening a new window instead of moving on in the current window. When coming to this forum to look for answers, I found a Submit button I then researched...and now I am even more confused! There's some code in the screen you see right after you log in, that looks like this: Quote: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write('<div style="margin-top:0px">'); document.write('<input type="submit" class="button" value=" Proceed " accesskey="s" onclick="window.location=\'http://www.htmlforums.com/f-html-xhtml-4.html/\'; return false" />'); document.write('</div>'); //--> </script> Clicking Submit does indeed move you on within the same window, but my questions a 1. How does this work when...it appears to be commented out! Note the <!-- and -->! And if these aren't commenting code out...then what are they there for? 2. What do all the forward and back slashes mean around the address? (I'm curious about the backslash right before the address, and then the forward and backslash right next to each other afterward) 3. I copied this code into my own page kind of like so: Quote: document.write('<input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit" onclick="window.location=\'newpage.html/\'; return false" />'); Every single time, clicking the button results in a white "This page cannot be displayed" screen--but then refreshing that screen causes the right page to come up! Does anyone know why it won't work the first time? Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide! Hey, I'm making a small text based game for a project at school, i am having2 problems, one is that i don't want it to open another page to submit the info to the PHP database when i hit the spin button, i want it to send the data directly from this page without opening any others i have tried changing the target but i cant do it, I've highlighted it in red below, and two is that i want it to auto submit the data every 4-5 seconds intervals without the user clicking anything, i have tried many codes i still cant get it to work. Thanks =] <form action="MyUrl" method="post" name="form1" target="hidden " id="form1"> <input name="bet" type="text" class="textbox" id="bet" value="1000"> <br> <br> <input name="spin" type="submit" class="custombutton" id="spin" value="Spin slots!"> </form> Hi, I want to create a page that has a form designed to look like a form that members have to now fill out manually (eg registration for an event). When I design the html page with the form submit on it, how can I make the emailed form look like the html page that the user saw instead of just lines of data? This is so people who recieve the form via email, it will look like the original form. Thanks Jaden I would like to make simple submit form, so I made this one. But it doesn't want to work. What is wrong? Code: <form method="post" action="mailto:something@mymail.com" enctype="text/plain"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="37%"> Mailing</td> <td width="63%">list</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Name</td> <td><input type=text name=Name size=8></td> </tr> <tr> <td> E-mail</td> <td><input type=text name=E-mail size=8></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type=submit name=Sub value=Submit></td> <td align="center"><input type=reset name=reset value=Reset></td> </tr> </table> </form> I have a website and I know basic html. But I need to know to to make it so that when people fill out a form on my website and hit submit the information will pop up in an orderly fashion on another page. So the world can see what they have submited. If your wondering it has nothing to do with personal info its totaly different. If you dont understand what im getting at then maybe ill say this. I want people to fill out a submit form and then hit submit then once they have done that i want that information they have submited to go on another seperate page on the site and be there permanently. I have a job application page on my client's site that needs to be submited, sent to an email adress and then redirected to a 'thank you' page. The format and look of the page appears to be great, but when you hit the 'submit' button on the page, the error message "Method Not Allowed: The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /job.htm." Apparently, this site's address was recently changed and the submission action was lost somewhere in transfer. The code is below, but if anyone is willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU! <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www....job.htm"><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="email address"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Job Application info"><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="redirect" VALUE="http://www.....thanks.htm"> I am designing a site for avaition photos that I have taken. What I want to do is have people who have had pictures taken of their aircraft to find the pictures and discretley release them for publication. The 'hard part' is taking the aircraft registry from a submit feild and returning an apropriate result. What I want to have happen is that if the user submits a registry that I have, they are presented with a page that they can fill out their information confirming that they are who they say they are and that the photo can be released. And if they are not in my list they get a 'sorry photo(s) not found' The question is can I do this without ay scripting or a database? IE If the user has the registration, have it point to a 'submittedregistration.html' file? Thanks for your help all!! Help with forms i am trying to get a form on my practice website to work and trying to work out how to get the info from the form sent to my email address when poeple click on the submit button the site it currently is on http://members.iinet.net.au/~garyrei...eb%20services/ I am new to websites and learning heaps as go along not bad for 60yr old hey if you click on the contact us section thats the one i am trying to work out for it to send the info fromthe website to an email address im doing something wrong but not sure what or where if any one can help solve this problem or suggest what i can do to get it working properly that would be very helpful thanks for your help gaza Hey guys. This is my first post, so thanks in advance for any help I receive! I'm having some problems with a form I've created. The form itself, when submitted, doesn't actually have to be sent to a server, as it is just for a school project. However, to my understanding when you submit a form, the information that is collected from the form is appended in a string to the url at the top. My problem is that part of my form is not being sent. My code is below, the part of the form that is not being sent is the table that has the text boxes for date, item and quantity. Thanks again in advance for any help!

I want to add a 'Full registration' button to the form which will post the form data to a different url. Does anyone know if/how this can be done? Cheers, James I was given a template to use. For days I have poked around trying to find out how to code the form so people could type in their e-mail address and submit it to the company for whom I am building the site for. Here is what was given to me in the template. <table width="160" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="bkt_color18335F">Stay in touch with Us</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bkt_link" nowrap="nowrap">Email</td> <td style="padding:0 0 0 3px;"><input name="textfield" type="text" class="form_search" id="textfield" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" class="bkt_link"> </td> <td><div align="right"><a href="join" class="style1 color18335F" style="font-size:9px;"><strong>> JOIN</strong></a></div></td> </tr> </table> What are the best routes here? php? asp? javascript? i'll take any method with direction. I hope this makes sense (and I'm posting in the right forum section). Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to type a form where the user will type in a 4 7 digit number: <input type="text" name="id" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> Cool so far. But what I need is after they submit it, the value that is put in there is submitted to a customized link (not http). Example: If a user inputs 1234, it will be changed to link://1234@example.com So the question is, how do get it so that the value submitted from the form is inserted inbetween my link:// and @example.com? Once again, hopefully that makes sense. I'm not even sure what I should be searching for on the forums. Maybe replace string or something? I don't know and I apologize. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Hey I tried googling this earlier but didn't find alot. What i am trying to do is when someone visits my site they enter their username and a short message. I would like it to send to either a file located on my web site server, where it will store until I read it, or send an email in the background to me so I can read it later. I had an example I tried to use, and it seemed to work, however it did not store the information into the file or email it to me. If you have an example of this please reply. Thanks. Hey, i'm really new to HTML, but my dad's amazing at it and gradually helping learn. I'm trying to get this for my blog, a way to sign up for a newsletter i'm putting together. Here's the code i've put in but when I click submit, it just says "Method Not Allowed". Thanks. Here's what i've put in: Code: <form method=post action="/cgi-bin/example.cgi"> <input type="text" size="12" maxlength="30" /> <input type="Submit" value="Submit" action="mailto:jjrsportsfan@yahoo.com" /> </form> Thanks, Jjrsportsfan Hi there, I'm hoping this is a pretty easy thing to do, and that it is me missing something. My password submit button on my html page will only work when the user clicks on submit and does not work when the user just presses "Enter". How can I change this so that the user can submit the password by pressing "Enter"? Here is my code: Code: <script language="javascript"> function pasuser(form) { if (form.pass.value=="password") { location = "page2.html" } else { alert("Invalid Password") } } </script> <form name="login"> <input name="pass" type="password"> <input type="button" value="Login" onClick="pasuser(this.form) "> <input type="Reset"> </form> Hi, I am a newbie using HTML to build a form in Sharepoint 2003 and I am not sure if this form is submitting properly. The form looks good! However, the question is: Does the HTML code actually submit any of the data entered in the fields when I hit the Submit button?
