HTML - Forms. Problems!

Hi there -
I tried searching for the answer to thsi question all over the web and have been unable to find the answer so I hope that someone here can help me.

I have made a simple form that emails the results to me. However, once submitted the page stays stagnant. It doesnt go anywhere. Once submitted, I would like it to go to another page - like a thank you page.

Here is the page: http://www.lillypad.net/content/article.html/1298177

Here is the code I am using:
<form action="MAILTO:charbennett@gmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

Thank you for any help you can give!

I have almost no knowledge of forms at all, and I need help...

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.

Simple? Hard? Can someone help a newbie?

Here's an example of what I need: www.mycute.com

Thanks!

Hello and thank you for having such a good resource for html online. I am trying to accomplish something and am not sure how to go about doing it. What I need to do is have a box that has multiple check boxes with I guess you can call them responses next to them. When the boxes are checked, I would like to be able to have a next button, that would bring me to another set of check boxes and of course answers. At the end of all of this, I would like to have whatever was checked put into a box at the end, that could be copy and pasted into another document. I am basically trying to make a function at my job easier. I have seen it done before, but am not sure what it would be called. I have dabbled a bit with html and for the life of me cannot figure it out. Not looking for someone to do this for me or even walk me through it, but just a point in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm looking for some coding to start a small app that allows the filling of a form in order to submit my free 30 sms that i have montly from my operator.

The manual procedure is

1) Login (by cookie or Session)
2) In the page, select SMS
3) Select a category (varies)
4) Write the message & Press Submit
5) Logout


What i'm looking for is an app, JS/HTML/PHP/ASP/ETC that could bring the manual procedure described above in one simple form.

I need to do a form submission that assigns values to radio buttons. Basically its a subjective hearing test, like this one.


http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/hea...aring_test.cfm


My question is I don't know how to setup the form at the point of submission, so it returns the proper response, dependent on the selected buttons(or score)?

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance...

please help i am new to html and i am trying to add an optin form to my site that is linked to my e-mail can anyone help

Hi Everyone.

I'm looking for a way to make a form (only one input line) inwhich you write an URL, press submit and it'll send you to that url. not sure if it's only HTML stuff, but i just can't get how to do it.
The form should act like the address bar. If you want to know why don't i just use the address bar, It's because I need to use Frames. Yes, I know it's kind of old, but i like it

Thanks alot
Chaim

Hi,

I currently have an area on my site where people can change the look using CSS in a text area. I now want to do it so i use a dropdown box and when someone selects a style they like it calls a CSS theme and puts it into the head of the page.

Is this possible (sorry if i have it in the wrong section!)

Joe

I need help with a form that allows the user to enter and submit the information, and then that information that they enter is automatically dislplayed below on the same page, after they hit the submit button. Here is the code I have.

Here is the html code (comment.html)

<html>
<body>
<form action="post.php" method="post">
First Name:
<input type ="text" name="firstname"/>
&nbsp
Last Name:
<input type ="text" name="lastname"/>
<br/>
<br/><dd/>
Comments orSuggestions:
<br/><dd/>
<textarea name="comment" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea>
</textarea>

</form>
</body>
</html>

Here is the php code (post.php)
<?php
$firstname=$_GET['firstname'];
$lastname=$_GET['lastname'];
$comment=$_GET['comment'];

echo $firstname;
echo "&4nbsp; $lastname";
echo ":";
echo "&nbsp; $comment";
?>

I do not want the the info when submitted to be displayed on the php page, I want it displayed on the html page where it was submitted, I was told I needed a php page to do that, but I cannot get it to work.

How do we get better form boxes rather than the usual ones ? And does anyone know the code to make a the border of a form box glow when we move the mouse over them ?

Thnx in Advance !!

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'm busy creating a form but, if i hit the send button i can only send it to e-mail.

I want to have it so that if something is submitted it shows it on the page itself,

Like if you make a offer on a site where you can buy stuff so other people on the site know what the highest offer is.

But i dont know the code can someone plz help me

Hey I'm new to these forums and fairly new to html. I have a question about forms that everybody here probably be knows, but I'm new, so... here it goes.
1. How do I make a submit button that will submit the data entered in the forms before the submit button and send it to me?
If I'm not clear enough just ask and I'll try to re-explain myself.

I am creating some forms for a website, and each form needs to have 1 or 2 text fields that can have additional text fields added or removed from the form. For example, a plus sign that would duplicate the text field, and then a minus sign to get rid of excess fields.

I would really appreciate it! If you need more information on my problem stvnclerico@gmail.com

Thankyou!
