How-to Email Forms

[MLyle]

I have a form on my web site that I'd like users to fill out and email back to me. What do I put in the Action and Submit tags to make this happen? I'm getting no response from my domain host when I ask this question. His list of options for different price seb sites indicates that the cgi library for my type of site is "email only."
Thanks! Martha Lyle

Martha,

I have a couple questions for you:

1) Do you have access to your CGI directory on your site
2) Does your host allow you to create your own CGI files and use them (as opposed to CGI files that the host suggests.)

If you didn't answer yes to BOTH questions, then you won't be able to use CGI forms. Granted, you could use javascript, but I don't suggest it.

If you did answer yes, then you'll have to go find yourself a good email script. You'll be able to find many free ones at some of the local cgi spots on the web. A good one is
