What's the fault in this Form?

Can you spot my problem?

[Familyman501]

My form should send the captured information to [e-mail] via the server or however it is usually achieved in forms without the user having to do anything.

Then it should route the user to the "thanks" page at http:// www.example.com /tadpole/ thanks.htm (NOT A REAL LINK)

I have no item what all this weird code says or what language it is. Can some Magican help me to make some sense of it so I can get my form to work. This code used to work on a different form so I copied it but can't make it sing.

Those are FrontPage extensions. You need a webhost which supports them (or preferably, to rewrite your script not to use them).

[Familyman501]

My web host used to support them. Now they don't work.

Can you give me any direction on how to find out how to write the script without being dependent on Frontpage extentions?

I would recommend finding out if your host supports PHP or ASP and then read about the mail functions for whichever one your host does support. There are excellent tutorials easily available for both.

[Familyman501]

Can you recommend a good tutorial on php supported forms?

Start here: [w3schools.com...]
It's also good for ASP form scripts. Otherwise, try a web search. There are a lot of free asp and php form scipts available.
