Introduction
Forms on your Website are a valuable tool to collect
data from a Website and send it via E-mail to your accounts
email address. As a security measure you can only use
form mail to send to an email as part of your account.
The reason for this is that many hosting companies do
not support forms and people will try and use your resources.
This prevents them from foing that
Once you have your forms designed in your favourite
web design package getting your forms to actually work
only takes 2 easy steps.
1. Using our pre-installed forms handler
First of all, you must design your form using your
desired web design tools. Once this is done, you must
manually edit the HTML code for your form, some web
design software allow you to do this e.g. Dreamweaver
and Frontpage.
You have to modify the following code on your form
page:
<form action="/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi" method
= "POST">
That code instructs your form to use the Deals4.co.uk
form handler to process the form.
2. Tell the form which email address to use
Next you must have the following line of html code
after the form action tag we entered above:
<form action="/cgi-sys/formmail"method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient"
value="you@yourdomain.co.co.uk">
This tells the formmail script where to E-mail the
information entered on the form. Be sure to change you@domain.co.uk
to your actual E-mail address and make sure that the
address is hosted on your account.
