HTML - Help With Contact Page

Right I'm trying to make a contact box for a website I designed for a friend. I've done the html and everything it's just that there's no destination for the message to go to.

All help is much appreciated

Hey all!

I'm new to these forums, but by the looks of the community I can foresee myself gaining a lot of knowledge from being here. I've searched around, but haven't really found a clear answer to the problem I am having.

Here's the deal, I have my own small local IT business and recently decided It's time to build a website. I am Cisco CCNA certified, and CompTia A++ Hardware and OS support certified, so I know my way around computers. However, I have ZERO knowledge of HTML/CSS/PHP ect. This of course was a huge gap in my knowledge, and the reason why I have waiting so long to get a website up and running. I am slowly learning, but everybody needs help at some point.

So this is where I am at. I have created my basic website based off a template. I have modified it quite a bit, and have begun to understand basic HTML and CSS. However, I am stuck at the "Message Box, or Contact Us" Form. I am assuming the the code behind this form will either send the Users message via Email, or text document on my server. After examining the code I am completely lost as to how it works, so I need some help here.

My Website is located at http://www.olsonit.com

The problem page is the "Contact Us" page. Here is the code for said Message box.

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><form name="form2" method="post" action="" style="margin:0px ">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="usial2">
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td height="39"><strong>First name</strong><br>
<input name="text25" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
<td width="15" rowspan="4">&nbsp;</td>
<td><strong>Phone</strong><br>
<input name="text252" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
<td width="15" rowspan="4">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="172" rowspan="4"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="usial2">
<tr>
<td><strong>Message</strong><br>
<textarea name="textarea" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:126px; overflow:auto" onClick="this.value=''"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="27" align="right" valign="bottom"><input name="reset" type="reset" style="width:56px; height:19px; background-image:url(images/clear.jpg); border:0px none; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer; margin-right:7px " value="">
<input name="submit22222" type="submit" style="width:56px; height:19px; background-image:url(images/send.jpg); border:0px none; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer; " value=""></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td height="39"><strong>Last name</strong><br>
<input name="text253" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
<td><strong>Fax</strong><br>
<input name="text254" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
</tr>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td height="39"><strong>E-mail</strong><br>
<input name="text256" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
<td><strong>State</strong><br>
<input name="text257" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
</tr>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td><strong>Zip</strong><br>
<input name="text258" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
<td><strong>Address</strong><br>
<input name="text259" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>


Hopefully I'll be able to get this all figured out, since I'm sure this will be a main source of contact between my Clients and I.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,

I'm building a simple website, on the CONTACT US page
i would like to have a contact script, doe's anybody know how can
i puta script &
if it's just copy paste or more than that?

Tnx,

I want to be able to have three boxes that a visitor can enter input and it be emailed to me.

For example:

Name - (Visitor types in name)
Email - (Visitor types in email)
Question - (Visitor types in question)

Than they hit Submit and it is emailed to me. I have found code that uses Outlook to do it, but I want it to do it through the website.

Hello,
I am working on a contact page and was wondering if someone could help me with the following.

I have created my form in html already with minor look changes in css (nothing big). I would like to write a javascript that will first validate the manditory fields (Name, email, and the message) after which it will compile all entered data into a popup/new page that JUST shows the information to be copy and pasted to an email; then later sent off.

For example if someone enters their name, email, location and message, the javascript will accept the form due to all the mandatory fields being present, and then depending on what the user input in the input fields, it will output something like the following on a new page or window:

COPY AND PASTE BELOW THIS LINE
---------------------------------------------------
Name: So and So
Email: name@email.com
Location: Country
Message: Message is whatever length.
---------------------------------------------------

I do have basic java knowledge so im not a total newbie. Thank you for all help; hope this isnt too daunting a task for you all. Just a little insight needed. Thanks again,

Hi guys, i'm here with another question, I need to make a contact form for my website, I posted this at html section but i'm not sure, some people say it's html, some php some say it's both...
So I googled a bit and all I find are things like this:
Code:

<form method="post" action="mailto:youremail@email.com">
<textarea rows="5" cols="20" wrap="physical" name="comments">
Enter Comments Here
</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send Email">
</form>

This just opens windows live mail..I want to people just click a button "send email" and it sends to my email, nothing more...not this confusions...i've been googling and I find nothing, so I want to talk to the experts, which are you guys

Alright, i'm having a problem with this contact form. I made it so that it will send to your email. But when I submit, its supposed to say on a new page "Your message has been sent.", but when I send it, all it says is "'); header('Location: sent.html'); ?>".

Here is the codes:

Code:

<html>

	<head>

		<title>Contact</title>

	</head>

	<body>

		<form action="form.php" method="post">

			Name<br/><input type="text" name="name" /><br/>

			Email<br/><input type="text" name="email"/><br/>

			Message<br><textarea row="7" cols="70" name="message"></textarea><br/>

			<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

		</form>

	</body>

</html>

Code:

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$text = $_POST['mesasge'];

mail('EMAILHERE', 'message, $text, 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>');

header('Location: sent.html');

?>

Code:

<html>

	<head>

		<title>Sent</title>

	</head>

	<body>

		Your message has been sent.

	</body>

</html>

Help will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone,

I know this might sound easy but I can't remember how to do this. Does anyone know how to send information from a simple form by hitting the submit button and I should be able to view the data in my domain email? I guess you can say I can check my email and the name, email and message form fields would displayed. I've created the form, form fields and the buttons in dreamweaver. I'm not sure if the enctype is ="multipart/form-data" I've done this before in front page. it come out as a web bot but i cant remember how this works in dreamweaver. I hope I haven't confused anyone. Please reply if you know what I'm talking about. Thank you.

Here is the code below from my contact.html page:

<form action="thankyou.asp" method="post" enctype="text/plain" name="contactform" target="_blank">
<span class="formstitle">Name:</span><br>
<input name="textfield" type="text" class="formstitle2" size="30" maxlength="30">
<br>
<br>
<span class="formstitle">Email:</span><br>
<input class="formstitle2" name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" maxlength="30">
<br>
<br>
<span class="formstitle">Message:</span><br>
<textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="4" class="formstitle2" id="message"></textarea>
<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input name="Submit" type="image" value="Submit" src="images/submit.gif" alt="submit" width="56" height="28">
<input type="image" src="images/clear.gif" alt="clear" width="56" height="28">
<br>

</form>

Can someone please let me know where I can find a free contact form for my site. All I want is a simple form - eg:

Name:
Email:
Message:

Send:

If possible a form that I can copy and paste right onto my site, thanks!
