I am new at web designing, I am praciticing by using MS frontpage 2000, and then fixing up the HTMl code and using some Java. I recently made a form so the results would be sent to my email, well it doesn't work the way i want it to. I click on the submit button and an email screen comes up, i thought it would automatically send it to my email with the form field names specified. I asked my web hosting provider and he said that i should use ASP, well I don;t know ASP. Anyone know another way i could do it, or a website that can help me learn some ASP to use in my form?? some code would be helpfull too

Find out if you have CDONTS or ASPmail Components.
then do a search online for
CDONTS example ASP
and or
ASPmail example ASP
this will give you plenty of very basic examples of using them and will get you going.
here's are two as simple as it will get also
save these seperatly and change the action attribute in the form tag to what you named the processing script
CDONTS (this example has no form fields added. use request to get the form fields posted and palce them in the Body field)
<%
Dim objMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail"
objMail.From = "rob@tconsult.com"
objMail.Subject = "How TO send email with CDONTS"
objMail.To = "someone@someplace.com"
objMail.Body = "This is an email message" & vbcrlf&_
"with CDONTS." & vbcrlf&_
"It is really easy. "
objMail.Send
Response.write("Mail was Sent"
'You must always do this with CDONTS.
set objMail = nothing
%>
ASPmail (this example loops thru all form fields)
<%
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer"
Mailer.FromName = "Joes Widgets Corp."
Mailer.FromAddress = "Joe@yourdomain.com"
Mailer.RemoteHost = "localhost"
Mailer.AddRecipient "John Smith", "jsmith@anotherhostname.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Your Subject!"
strMsgHeader = "Form information follows" & vbCrLf
for each qryItem in Request.QueryString
strMsgInfo = strMsgInfo & qryItem & " - " & request.querystring(qryItem) & vbCrLf
next
strMsgFooter = vbCrLf & "End of form information"
Mailer.BodyText = strMsgHeader & strMsgInfo & strMsgFooter
if Mailer.SendMail then
Response.Write "Mail sent..."
else
Response.Write "Mail send failure. Error was " & Mailer.Response
end if
%>
hope that kind of helps

w3schools has some excellent tutorials and references that I still refer back to on occasion. (Link to right under partners). You may also want to check out 4guysFromRolla.com and if you have problems with anything specific and can't find a good answer you could always ask at the ASP forum here at Tek-Tips.

It would be helpful to see your form. Can you give us the full URL for your form.
If your web host has the FrontPage extensions installed on your site, you can build your form in FrontPage and it will submit to email if it is properly built. Hope I have been of some help,
Micheal

well i just delted my form. My website URL is newcleaners.com. Its just a normal form. ask for name, address, phone number, email address, comments, company name. Thasts about it. I just want it to send it to email without opening up the email page, I dont have the time to learn ASP because of all the AP classes I am tkaing and my job, plus i've looked at ASP and its not making much sense to me, thanks.
