customer data to email address

[clivey]

Help!
I'm trying to set up a form that when filled in will be sent to my email address. I have never used cgi but have a lot of exp. with dreamweaver2. Is there anyway I can use javascript to email the data????????????

Set the form action to mailto:youremailaddress similar to:
<FORM name=&quot;myform&quot; action=&quot;mailto:youraddress@yourcompany.com&quot;>

This will send a .dat file with the posted information to your email address.

This may not be exactly the functionality you are looking for though. I would suggest using Active server pages (ASP) and post the data to a separate page which reads the post data, formats it into an email, and sends it to you via CDONTS (Collaborative Data Objects for NT Server, a built in server object [program] in Win2K that sends email). Your site would have to be hosted on a Windows/IIS server for this to work. This coding in ASP can be done in Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 fairly easily without touching much code.

Hi, Why not try formmail - all you do is set the form up with (for example) :-
<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;formmail.pl&quot;>
<input type=hidden name=&quot;recipient&quot; value=&quot;info@you.com&quot;>
<input type=hidden name=&quot;subject&quot; value=&quot; whatever&quot;>
<input type=hidden name=&quot;required&quot; value=&quot;realname,email,comments&quot;>
<table width=&quot;97%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot;>
... input fields go here

It's very easy to use as long as you can run cgi or perl on the server.

Hope this helps
