Form

Creating a form without using ASP

[giga]

Hello, my internet provider is not asp compatable so I was wondering if there was a way to create and submit a form without having to use asp or microsoft outlook (via e-mail).

Thank You

Welcome to WebmasterWorld giga!

You can create the form and do some validation using Javascript, but you still need someting to process the form with, that's what you normally specify on the form action= paramater. The host needs to make some server side scripting or programming available to process forms otherwise it isn't possible.

Some hosts that don't allow custom code have prewritten code that can be used to process forms, ask your host about this.

I would use something like [bigbiz.com] this to do what you are looking for. Hope it helps.

giga,

The simplest (and probably most common) way of submitting a form is via a standard html web page and using a cgi script (your ISP should have one available). A phone call to your ISP, or a look on their webpage for help designing webpages will often give you an answer.

I am not sure why you would use an ASP page for a standard reply-type form. If you believe ASP is required to post a form, you are mistaken, and should probably look for another source of information :-)

Hopes this helps,
