HTML - Html Forms/posting (like Guestbook) Help
I am building a website for a class and I need the ability to post comments. I need to take in name, address, all the usual stuff, their comments and then post it back for everyone to read. The catch is that my site will mainly be being viewed offline. I will have it online, but that isnt part of the requirements. I need some sort of extremely simple form/posting method that doesnt require anything to be running server-side. I have decent knowledge of html, but zero knowledge of java scripting, php, mysql, asp, perl, etc. I have downloaded some guestbook generators and looked at some other examples, but all of them seem to require something running server side. I say seem because I really dont know.
I dont need any security or anti spam or spell check or anything like that, just something really simple. It is getting down to crunch time, so any help would be appreciated. If you need anything on my end please let me know. I am recieving email notifications on this post, but if you want to IM me at phemmin and get some interactive discussion going, that would be great. I probably wont be around until tomorrow afternoon. Also, I am using frames, dont know if that will matter any. Similar TutorialsHi, I have been working on my new website and i'm wanting to add a guestbook, i've got the HTML, all looks fine on my website. I'm just having problems when i try to post onto the guestbook. I think it has something to do with this bit: <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""> Where i have "action" i added /guestbook.html. But when i pressed post it was taking me to the guestbook.html page which is blank. I just want new posts going on the page where the guestbook is. Heres the Code, if someone can edit it for me please. <!--GUESTBOOK--> <HR><B>Barry <A HREF=mailto:sdsm>baza06@msn.com </A></B> <P>Just testing <HR><B>Barry <A HREF=mailto:sdsm>baza06@msn.com </A></B> <P>Just testing <!--POINTER--> <!--everything after this is standard and unchanging. --> <HR> <center>Post a response: <BR> <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""> Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE=25 MAXLENGTH=25> <BR> Email: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="address" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=30> <BR> Text: <BR> <TEXTAREA ROWS=5 COLS=65 NAME="body"> </TEXTAREA> <BR> <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="POST"> <INPUT TYPE=reset VALUE="CLEAR"> </FORM></center> <HR> Hi - I want to create a guestbook that is incorporated into my webpage here Are there any easy to install guestbooks that can be embedded into the page with a captcha.

So i have problem, friend ask me for making a web but only in HTML cause portal on which she got account doesn't support PHP. And I'm wondering if there is some more or less easy way to create login/password protected access to the web form in HTML, that she can log in and then add posts on her website in way that I'm using right now writing this post. Of course all in HTML, if its not possible I will figure out something else. Thanks in advance. =] I have a series of questions related to forms via html. 1. I am creating an employment application form. The form is pretty long, and I would like to create a "next" button that would bring the applicant to the next section, however I don't want it to submit because I would like to keep the application together in one piece (I might not be able to tell what piece belongs to which applicant, etc.). 2. The dreaded "SUBMIT" button... I've tried all the tutorials on the web that I can find, but I'm not sure I know exactly what's going on. Excuse me, but I am a little bit slow. A thorough explanation of how to create a mailto: myemail@mywebsite.com would be awesome. I don't know how to make it work. I put the "mailto" script in my forms, but nothing happens when I click submit. I will be posting the custom HTML to my form once it is complete so you can copy/paste however you'd like. To contact me directly, just go to: www.happypetpaws.net and click on my "Live Support" button. I'll answer. Thank you for your help! Hey Ppls I need a hand with a HTML form that i am doing, I have completed forms on various websites before and they have just sent with a confirmation to say that your query has been sent. Now i dont pretend to know everything or even a lil that there is to know about HTML, and i have taught myself everything i know, but when i was looking at this form everytime you hit submit it brings up everything in outlook, and i would much prefer it to send directly from the web site! HTML Code: <body> <form action="MAILTO:justabetterchat@hotmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="mystyles.css" TYPE="text/css"> <H2>Below is a easy to use form that we have made in order to continuously improve our chat! Feel free to give us feedback, make a query or even Complain about or compliment a staff member!</H2> Name:<br> <input type="text" name="name" value="Your Name" size="20"> </p> Mail:<br> <input type="text" name="mail" value="Your E-mail" size="20"> </p> Reason For Submission:<br> <select name="Reason for Submission"> <option value=""></option> <option value="General Inquiry">General Inquiry</option> <option value="Account Problems">Account Problems</option> <option value="Feedback">Feedback</option> <option value="Compliments and COmplaints">Compliments and Complaints</option> </select></p> Details of Query (if the query is about your account please include your username):<br> <textarea rows="10" cols="30">Details Go HERE!!!! </textarea><br> <input type="submit" value="Send"> <input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form> </body> </html> that is the code that i have for the form, it may not be the easiest or best but its what i know, its just as i have outlined it opens outlook wif everything you have imputed and u send from there, well for people like me i dont have outlook set up, i dont use outlook which is why i would much rather it not do that but just send straight from the site, it would be great if someone could help me! Cheers, Rissy Hi guys, i wonder if there is anyone out there that can help me with something. I have tried to fix it but to no avail. I cannot see any issues with the HTML, especially within the form tag. The form was produced by a company for me, with a script so that it emails the information to an end user. The problem is this: When you try to click on the text field the cursor doesnt come up unless u move to the top of the box. This only occurs on the first four os so fields, then the rest are perfect. As a workround, i have set the value to some text, and when the user clicks on it it clears the form and this works fine, but if the user clicks away from the form, and hovers over the text box the same problem exists. The URL is www.ventureaircraftbrokering.com the form is on the main page. I have tried to compare the code but nothing i can see. Thanks to all concerned in advance. Bpjones I'm trying to make an e-mail form on a website using HTML that will send the information to me without opening up Microsoft Outlook. The only problem is the web host I'm using doesn't support PHP. Any ideas how this can be done? (I think this is in the right section, if not, I apologize!)

The user may input as many as he/she wishes, so I need to provide the option to input how many sequences will be submitted. That number of text boxes/input boxes need to be generated. For instance, if the user enters 4, four text boxes will be generated so the user can input four sequences. Is there a way to do this solely with HTML? Hi I am currently trying to create a form which has one textbox, two radio buttons and a submit button and when the submit button is selected it will open another page and show the text from the text box and also show which radio button was selected. Currently i have two web pages, Forms.html which will have the textbox, radio buttons and submit button. Then i ahve page.html which i want to show the results. Currently the code in the forms.html page is: Code: <form action="page.html" method="post"> <fieldset> <legend>Testing form</legend> <p><label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" id="name" /></p> <p><label for="male">Male</label> <input type="radio" value="male" id="male" name="gender" /></p> <p><label for="male">Female</label> <input type="radio" value="female" id="Female" name="gender" /></p> <p class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p><br/> </fieldset> </form> On the page.html the code i have is: Code: <%
'declare the variables that will receive the values
Dim text, male, female
'receive the values sent from the form and assign them to variables
'note that request.form("name") will receive the value entered
'into the textfield called name
name=Request.Form("text")
email=Request.Form("male")
comment=Request.Form("female")
'let's now print out the received values in the browser
Response.Write("text: " & text & "<br>")
Response.Write("male: " & male & "<br>")
Response.Write("female: " & female & "<br>")
%>
However when you select the submit button it does open page.html but it does not show the results. Does anyone know why this is? Have i written the code wrong?

Currently, I use MS FrontPage to build forms. I'd like to begin to move away from using FP extensions and just use FP for editing. I use several forms and I'd like to hear from anyone that can lead me to any freeware or shareware that I can use to build HTML forms instead of using FP's system. Whatever software I use for forms I'd like it to also include these 3 functions: 1. Allow for form error page 2. Allow for form acknowledgement page 3. Provide built in capability to send completed form data (via Submit) to specified email addresses. I've Googled this a few times but haven't been able to come up with what I'm looking for. I was hoping someone on this forum could help. Thanks Please help! My form is finished and I am trying to set up a thank you page that the advertiser gets when they submit a form. I am still learning and I am looking for a simple HTML code that can give me that. Much information is appreciated. |
