I'm not familiar with JScript being used for server-side code but here is an example of using VBScript for server-side. Take a look and compare with yours. You must be missing something.

I'll keep looking over your code to see what I can find; if anything.


<%
'Delcare variables here
Dim MailObject
Dim strFrom
Dim strTo
Dim strSubject
Dim strMessage

'Use these four lines if using method=post
strFrom = Request.Form(&quot;mailFrom&quot
strTo = Request.Form(&quot;mailTo&quot
strSubject = Request.Form(&quot;mailSubject&quot
strMessage = Request.Form(&quot;mailMessage&quot

'Use these four lines if using method=get
'strFrom = Request.QueryString(&quot;mailFrom&quot
'strTo = Request.QueryString(&quot;mailTo&quot
'strSubject = Request.Form(&quot;mailSubject&quot
'strMessage = Request.QueryString(&quot;mailMessage&quot

Set MailObject = Server.CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot

MailObject.Importance=2
MailObject.Value(&quot;Received&quot = strIP
MailObject.Value(&quot;Originating_IP_Address&quot = strIP2

MailObject.From=strFrom
MailObject.To=strTo
MailObject.Bcc=&quot;eric_estes@aspensquare.com&quot;
MailObject.Subject=strSubject
MailObject.Body=strMessage

MailObject.Send

Set MailObject = nothing

where at, what do you mean, create it in my script, i didnt write the script, ok wait let me fill you in:

Im the network tech, with some web experience,

we had a exeternal co. make this site

my boss want me to change the contact page, so i made it look like it does, i didnt change any code on the asp script

so i know very little about this, should it be in a form? or just a table? because it is in a form

It does need to be in a form, which is then submitted to youe email ASP.

Firstly, you need to make sure you're running the site on IIS. The above ASP uses CDONTS, so this also needs to be installed (search for cdonts.dll on the server). This has to be set up to use an SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) server, which can either be the same machine or a different one.

On your server, open the Microsoft Management Console or Internet Service Manager and there should be Default SMTP Site. Right click on this and choose properties, then the Delivery tab. Enter the IIS server's name or IP address in the &quot;Fully Qualified Domain Name&quot; part, and the name or IP address of your SMTP server in the &quot;Smart Host&quot; part.

thats the problem, i cant get to the server because i dont know where it is, its at teh web hosting company's buildign, untill we configure our own, who knows when that is, but it should all be running because this page was already on the net and working, i just changed some things around, ill try that email piece and see if it works, thanks
