FF:SA Ahh dreamweaver, the web designers best friend............ NOT

Okay,

I am currently building a website for work. Yes I am stuck at work on a Saturday building a website....

But i need help

Does anybody know how to get the silly forms working.....

I have set it all up, and the fields and radio buttons and stuff work
but i can't get the submit button to send the information back to my email


CAN ANYONE HELP ME

 

I feel your pain. Forms was one of the things I could never get to work properly even with the help of someone who knew a lot more than me about web sites. Did you check the help section? It's surprisingly very helpful.

Good luck!

 

You'll need to make sure that the server extensions are enabled wherever our page is hosted. Otherwise no form on the webpage would be usable to send data.

 

lol, that made no sense at all to me.

 

It'd make sense if you were doing web design.

And believe it or not, that was the simple version.

 

Forms sending stuff via email?

*shiver*

Have never got it to work. Never tried too hard unfortunately, always given up. Give me CSS problems and I'll (somtimes) work it out. Forms...erk!

Sorry! Even my students (who are often better at IT stuff than me) usually can't work it out. Usually better if you have server side stuff to handle it, but unfortunately not my field of expertise.

 

Thankyou for your help....


the forms they still don't work, but i am contacting the people who host my site and see if they can work out what i have done wrong

oh well, i wonder what possesed them to want a form in the first place

 

lol, nice StarCruiser

 

I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work, I got it to work


ANd Just in case you didn't quite catch that

I got it to work





Turns out there not as hard as they are made out to be, a simple mailto: script and it worked

hmmm

now i just have to work out passwords

 

Passwords can either be done using SQL, or directly from the server, depending on the setup.

Example:

Forums typically use an SQL database for all data, including passwords, but I have password protected directories and files on my webserver that are configured using a htaccess file.
