form wont send info

[caines]

I have made a dreamweaver form and set the action to send to my e-mail address, although for some reason it doesnt actually send the information. You can view the form at:

Would appreciate some help on this one! thankyou!

you might want to look into asp or php to process the form. your way is antiquated and involves an unneccessary step for users. you could also download form processing scripts such as formmail and what not.

is all that really neccessary? it is a very basic form with 3 fields which i just want e-mailed. Obselete or not, it will still perform the operation required of it wont it?

these days, it would be to unsecure to use it straight like that, and prone to abuse. A &quot;script&quot; kiddie could come by your page and from a terminal on his/her computer, just abuse the form by having set values in his/her program to continue to submit to your form, hence flooding your server and maybe end up crashing it. Worst it could be used to send spam to you on a constant basis.

There are form processing scripts available so that abuse olike that wont happen.

ox for example when i hit submit on your form my anti virus goes apewire -- why you ask? because your website is trying to run a command on my OS. Now do you want to scare away your visitors. I know better but I would still not allow your form to be sent because if i give your script permission who knows what it will do -- not saying you are trying to be malicious but i dont want to take a chance.
