submit button in forms

[jcsp2000]

I created a form in Director for a multimedia CD. I want to send it to an email, but I cant configure the submit button. HOw do I do it if, for example, the receiver mail should be example@site.com

Well, as you've created a form, you'll probably have to send it to some cgi. Here's how I did it in a similar project:

vNachname = member("fld.form.name&quot.text
vVorname = member("fld.form.vorname&quot.text
vAdresse = member("fld.form.adresse&quot.text
vOrt = member("fld.form.ort&quot.text
vTelefon = member("fld.form.tel&quot.text
vEmail = member("fld.form.email&quot.text
vMitteilung = member("fld.form.text&quot.text
infoList = ["Name":vNachname,"Vorname":vVorname,"Strasse":vAdresse,"Ort":vOrt,"Telefonnummer":vTelefon,"Email-Adresse":vEmail,"Text":vMitteilung]
netID = postNetText("

http://www.yourserver.com/mail/cgiscrip.cgi",infoList)

Hope this helps.

Thanx eladi.
But I am not good with CGI's so I don't know what should I upload in the server, besides (I guess) your solution opens the web browser, and I don't want that.

Hei jcsp2000,
Well, you'll have few other options. Depending on the cgi-script you have, there's not necessairily a new brower window to be opened - that's optional, wether you direct it or not. Usually the user wants to know, that his email/contact got through anyway.
As for CGIs, there are lots around.

I started with copying them too before I learned some ASP.
