HTML - Help With Form Posting
I have a big form (http://plemorarpg.com/footpatrol/nightlyreport.html), and I want it to submit to e-mail when 'submit' is clicked... but I want it to e-mail it in the form of a table (or at least in a nice, orderly fashion), not in the form of a variable list (so I want to see the e-mail look like the form, instead of look like
last-night-1 great last-night-2 okay ) Can anyone help me, or point me in the direction of help? Perhaps a free webhost who allows cgiemail, or someone with cgiemail that's willing to let me host this on their site for a small fee? This is for a volunteer group that walks people home at night on a university campus, so money is fairly nonexistent... The server I'm currently using has a CGI capabilities, but no set bin and no pre-codes. My knowledge of CGI is pathetic, but if that's the only way I'd love it if someone could walk me through step by step. Anyone? EDIT: I have a webserver that allows CGI, but it doesn't have a bin or any scripts - Similar TutorialsI am getting some problem while writing a submit form. Below is the exact code of my form. <html> <body> <font face=Arial size=2> <form action="contact.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="name"> <input type="submit" value="Send"> </form> </body> </html> when I am clicking on the 'Send' button the value passed to the address bar should be : http://myweb.com/contact.php?name=jaas&submit=Send But instead of that it just pass http://myweb.com/contact.php Means the inputs are not parsed to 'contact.php'. I am not getting where the problem lies. Please help. I am currently making a webform. This form formatted by html uses PHP to post the entered data to my MySQL database. I would like to allow my users to enter Rich Text, therefore I got FCKEditor a WYSIWYG web editor which will turn all the rich text into html so I can store it in the exact format. The Problem: FCK Editor dimensions are very large, therefore I need to have it as a pop up. Supposedly the user will enter into the form page, and then click on a link if they want to enter Rich Text. The link will bring up the Editor. That is all fine, however I would like to know on how I would -Post the entered data back onto the original form when they press submit in the pop up without losing any data. Currently when I try to do this, it would submit the entered data into a new form, not the one that the user came from. I just posted a question 5 minutes ago and now it's gone. hummm any thoughts? Hello! I need some help with my website - it is an international job posting website and I cant figure out how to make the job postings go on auto-pilot. Say someone would like to post a job, as of right now they email me and I put it on the website, and recently I tried using a forum but a) the viewer has to sign up with this forum company and b) they delete my posts because they have to do with money i think... so I'm wondering if anyone out there would know how to put this site on auto pilot by creating my own forum or something!! Thanks so much to whoever can help a sista out! Lindsay Hi everyone, I'm new here and new to html stuff. I really need to learn it to make my website. I've been messing around all day with the codes and so far all I got is this: <TABLE BORDER="0" cellpadding="0" CELLSPACING="0" bordercolor="#330000" width="100%"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="950" HEIGHT="17" BGCOLOR="#000000" VALIGN="top" align="left"> <font face="edwardian script itc" style="font-size: 65pt" color="#FFFFFF">George Gabrielle Couture </font></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <table border="0" width="20% align="right" bgcolor="FFFFFF"> <tr> <TD BGCOLOR="#000000"> <font face="pica10 bt" color="FFFFFF" size="3">Fall/Winter</font></td> </tr> <tr> <TD BGCOLOR="#000000"> <font face="pica10 bt" color="FFFFFF" size="3">Holiday</td> </tr> <tr> <TD BGCOLOR="#000000"> <font face="pica10 bt" color="FFFFFF" size="3">Resort</td> </tr> <tr> <TD BGCOLOR="#000000"> <font face="pica10 bt" color="FFFFFF" size="3">Baby</td> Now I need to add some pics to the white part of the page (left-hand side). Forgive me everyone, when you answer this please treat me like I'm a 5 year-old, LOL . I am soooo html challenged. I'm only a seamstress, and sewing clothes is all I know . Sorry if this is the wrong section to post in but as I have explained I'm new to this & I don't fully understand what everything means. But my question is this: A long time ago somebody told me of a method in which I was able to make a nwe forum topic via the address bar. There were spaces to put the message, topic title, topic icon etc. But being slow I forgot it. I was just wondering if anyone could help me with this as I would like to use it to make multiple topics on my new message board & I don't want to type the whole topic out again everytime I post. Again I'm sorry is this is the wrong place to post a quaestion like this. Thanks, Jonny. I am adding an event to a web page I have inherited from someone else. I don't have access to the CSS styles in the webpage, so I have to use existing styles. The page is supposed to line up in two columns, and used to do that before my updates today, but for some reason now is all in one long column. I could use another set of eyes, as I can't seem to see the reason it is having problems. Can you help me? I need to get an answer this morning or I will have to change the page back so that it looks correctly even if it has old information. Dear All, I've just recently begun to build my website. On a page, there is a text area with a Submit button below it. The user enters text in the box and then clicks submit. Text box is submited to the server which it then posts to the same page. The problem is that, when the entry is multiple lines long it gets posted to the page as one single long sentence running off the right side of the page. I am using Microsoft Expression Web 4, and front page server extensions. I have tried using a line break and justify margin settings, but to no avail. The text still gets posted as a single long line of text instead of marginalizing it into multiple lines. Thanks in advance for help, Elwood I want to post information to another pages through links: for example, I want when clicking on a link "client" to go another page saying "Welcome Client" How could I do something like that..I know that I must use a form in order to post information to another pages...How to do it without using a form...Help please! Thanks in advance... I'm trying to make a site where people can post information. Similar to something like facebook where people enter in fields and then those fields instantly become a profile. I can figure out how to write the form etc., but what I need help on is how to get it to open into a new page. Is this DHTML? If not, can anyone tell me the formal name, so I can try to find it and learn it? Or if someone could just tell me how, that would be great too. Thanks! Hi, I've the following code. I want on the button hit on formOne the data in both the forms to be submitted. I'm new to Javascript so any advise is welcome.

Hey friends, I'm trying to find out if there is a good and simple way to add a clients facebook posts directly to their website. So if they post to their facebook wall, it would need to immediately update on their website. I have come across some methods, but I haven't seen any instances of these methods working on any sites. Can anyone help me? I have an associates degree in web design so I am pretty basic. Thanks a million for any help/info I can get on this! t Hi, i'm new here and fairly new to html and use a point and click interface for making websites. Can someone help me with an html code that can do the following?: -Its an large input field for visitors to post text and pictures which will then be sent to my email-, to be reviewed for content by me. I will then edit the website with the visitor's content. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. Thank You, Frostysnow 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. Hi all, I have a flash movie that needs to be played when a link is clicked. So I tried the following but it did not work. Firefox just tries to open the file. Code: <a href="../docs/General_Presentation.swf">Sales Presentation</a> Any suggestions? Thanks much, Jehan Hello all I'm currently trying to submit HIDDEN variables via POST when a user hits a link--but I don't know how to do it. Here's how you would usually submit data using the FORM tags: Code: <form action="processing.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="hidden-value" value="SKDJCM7" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Now I want to replace the submit button with a text link (<a href="">). And everytime the user clicks on that link, the new webpage should not only be loaded, but hidden variables should be POSTed to the new webpage. I have read the <a> tag reference, but no parameters seem to allow POSTing variables to the destination URL. What's also important to me: - I do not want to use GET, because the variables shouldn't appear in the URL. - I do not want to use cookies. - I do not want to use scripts, like Javascript. - I do not want to use images instead of buttons, but I want to use text links. - I do not want to use the PHP-native session support. Is there a way to do what I want? Thanks in advance for any help Avoc. (I got permission first of all from the site owner) I would like to copy his video from his site, and put it on to my site.

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.

Of course all in HTML, if its not possible I will figure out something else. Thanks in advance. =] Before asking for help or replying to a question..... Be as specific as you can when asking for help or with a general question. Post the code you are having problems with (or the relevant section of code) or post a URL to the page/code. Try and make the subject line of the question relevant to the question, ie: "Table not aligning properly". If your problem or question is specific to a browser list the version of the browser you are working with, simply saying Netscape or IE is much too vague to be of any real value. Do not post questions as "Urgent" or "Need a reply ASAP" or "HELP!!!". Its rude, obnoxious, and may delay a response to your question. Questions will be answered by whoever wishes to post a reply and whenever they wish to. Please do not abuse the forum or its members. All members are encouraged to answer questions posted in the forum. Even if you believe you may not be giving the best answer please feel free to post one. All questions and answers are welcome as long as they are relevant to the topic of this forum and offered in good faith. There may be more than one answer that is correct to any given question so be sure to read all the answers and choose which is best for your situation and skill level. Before posting a reply to a question pause for a moment to think if its really germane and relevant to the topic of the thread. There really is no need to post gratuitous comments about questions or answers. If correcting an answer posted by another member please be respectful and courteous. Thanks for taking the time to help us help you! Comments on this post adzthewise agrees: why dont people take more notice of this! ToshNeox agrees: I think people should read this. Perhaps even often to remind them that if they have an answer, they should say it. It's a pain when you look at your posts and nobody has answered it, even though we ourselves have not answered all of them. sammyP agrees: Maybe "(or the relavant section of code)..." could be replaced with "(only the relevant section of code)..." cascading-style agrees: I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THIS!!! Shannonc agrees: I read this |
