How to get formmail up and running

[klyons]

Hi, I'm hoping I can get some help setting up form mail in Frontpage. I have a form I need created with the following elements:

- First name
- email
- headline
- website URL
- Description
- Our URL resides?

Submit your site

Once user hits "submit your site" I'd like to have the info filled in by the user emailed to me. Also, I'm new at this. Is there something special that needs to be turned on at my hosting provider? a program that will send the email? thanks a bunch for the help, Ken

Your host should tell you where the form mail script is, and then you can set the action of your form to POST to it.

If you look at the form settings, you'll see an option to send to an email address. Note that if you are developing on a local machine, you will probably get a warning that your machine does not support the email option and asking if you want to remove the email address--be sure to answer NO.

Your web host must have both the FrontPage server extensions AND support ASP. Some bargain hosts offer the FP server extensions but not ASP.
