Help With Creating Forms	View Content

Hi everyone,

Thank god I found this forum. My HTML experience is pretty limited and something has been driving me insane trying to figure out how to do.

All I want to do is create a form that when filled out the information is sent to my email. I thought this is how I write it

HTML Code:

<form action="MAILTO:me@myemail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">

</form>

Then that information would be sent to my email. When I try it out all it does is open up my outlook account with the details in there.

Please someone help before my monitor goes flying out the window.

Cheers

Help Creating Web Forms

Hello. =)

I'd like to create a web form, but I don't understand scripting languages (yet)...so I need a user-friendly, WYSIWYG form creator [*] . I have FrontPage 2003, but that's not "WYSIWYG"-enough for me. Plus I heard that FrontPage isn't that great when it comes to coding things.

I also want my form creator to let me:

-Insert "special fields/code" (see #1, #2, #3 and #4 - from DynamicDrive.com)

-Validate all email addresses typed in the form

-Send results to my email, and store certain fields/answers to an Excel document

-Hide my email address from spambots (it's called "encrypting", right?)

There are websites that'll make the form for me, but I want to host the finished form (and accompanying files) on MY OWN SERVER. The best site I could find (phpFormGenerator) will let me download everything. But it'll also post my forms -- and files -- in public. So my email address, database info, etc. will be available for spambots and hackers. =\

Thanks in advance!

[*] I'd prefer a freeware creator. If you know some good shareware, I ONLY want one that lets me create a fully-functional (ad-free, watermark free, 100% working for life) web form. I don't care if it expires in 30 days...as long as I get my one form made, no strings attached.

PS: Since I'm a complete n00b when it comes to web forms, I have a few more questions to ask (mostly database related). But I'll do that later.

Hi,

I'm looking to create a simple booking form on a html website. It needs to generate an email containing the details for the website owner, as well as show confirmation to the form user that it has posted successfully.

I'm trying to establish the best/easiest way of doing this? I have a fairly good grasp of html - but would this involve programming outside of html? Javascript perhaps?

If you could point me in a direction it would be much appreciated,

Thanks.

Need Help With Creating Forms On A Website

Hey everyone!

I don't know much about HTML so please be gentle in responding.

I'm setting up a form for online donations for the organization I work for and we're using Paypal to receive the donations. The problem is that I need to be able to let people designate their donations to specific projects and such but Paypal won't do that. I know that I can set up a form on our website that allows them to select the different projects, put in the amounts and then have a box at the bottom giving the total donation.

The problem I have is that whenever they fill out this form and move on to the Paypal payment page, they have to re-enter the total donation on the Paypal payment page. I want to eliminate this step, if possible. My question is this: Is there a way to have the total donation amount copied and pasted onto the Paypal payment page so they wouldn't have to re-enter it?

Thanks for your help in this matter!

Okay, I'm trying to make a form that sends the information entered to my email address.

I don't know if it's the code or not but all it seems to be doing is opening up a blank email directed to the address.

Here's the code:

<form action="MAILTO:lifeisbetteroutsidethebox@hotmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<p align="center"><strong>Your Full Name:</strong><br /><input name="name" type="text" class="style8" size="20">
</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Your Email Address:</strong><br />
<input name="mail" type="text" class="style8" size="20" />
</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Your City:</strong><br />
<input name="city" type="text" class="style8" size="20" />
<p align="center">
<input name="Send" type="submit" id="Send" value="Send">
<input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="Reset">
</form>

Okay, any help please?

I need a form that makes one line with a button and a text box, the button should say "URL" and the text box should show the URL of a site. When you click the button it should highlight the URL in the text box.
On the next line, another button that says "Image", and the text box has the URL of an image I have posted in my blog. Same here, when button gets clicked, it hightlights the URL in the text box.
