Does anyone know of an HTML form building program that allows the submit button to send the form to an e-mail address?

We have been using Front Page, but are having problems with the server extensions.

Are there any simple solutions to design a form with the submit button functionality?

Thanks very much!
 
If all you want is an email on submit, simply add the following code to your form tag at the beginning:

<form action=&quot;mailto:user@company.com&quot;>

This will send you an email with an attachment that will be called postdata.att and you will need a form parser (I recommend URLcook) to read the data and to be able to import it into your databases.

You could also try a simple perl or cgi script from the web they are pretty easy to find but not so easy to modify if you are not use to perl or cgi. Look for formmail.cgi at matts script archive.

Hope this helped.
