After you have made a form, how can you send it to the person.. 1

After you have created a form in Dreamwever, how can you make the submit button to submit the form to your e-mail?

Hi, have you ever gotten an answer to this one? I'm wondering the same thing.  As I understand you can fill in a ( mail to:<A HREF="mailto:you@server.com">you@server.com</A>)  or a ( url address) in the action field. I get the feeling that there's more to it because you have information coming into your server and it must be secure?or encrypted?  let me know.

Forms use CGI scripts server-side to process the form inputs and return a response e.g. mailing to a specified email address. Scripts like this can be of many types, but a typical feedback form uses something like formmail.pl in the server's cgi-bin. Try &quot;Matts Script Archive&quot; if you want to try uploading your own scripts...<br><br>Hope this helps<br>Colin Taylor

Normally you use CGI-scripts, but it is very easy to use mailto:???@???.???<br>If you do this, use this HTML-code:<br>&nbsp;&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; ENCTYPE = &quot;text/plain&quot; action=&quot;mailto:????@yourhost.com&quot; name=&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;&gt;<br>ENCTYPE = &quot;text/plain&quot; lets your data arrive in a texte-mail without attachment.<br>&nbsp;

Mailto is very easy and it&nbsp;&nbsp;will work but <br>there is no security:<br>sometime a blank page will be sent to you w/o the infor:<br>and the person who might sent you the infor does not has his/her e-mail set up right to send you the information. <br>Just said it will be a mess. But mailto is easy for temp. use.
