Submit Button Help
I'm working on a comment page for my site. At the bottom i have the submit button. How can i make it email the comments to me instead of it being saved as a text file in my directory?

I'm new at this, please don't laugh to hard.

For this thing to work the way you want, you need CGI scripts. Do you have CGI capability on your server?

You can go to http://www.scriptarchive.com/ and download the FormMail script or the guestbook script. There you will find many more.

All the best.

I just forgot to mention. If your server doesn't have the power to process CGI script, have a look at http://www.formmail.com.

I suggest PHP! Check to see if your server supports PHP

If you don't know, open up notepad, paste the next line:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then save that as phpinfo.php then look at that page.

Use this example for your form opening tag.

<form name = "Comments" id = "Comments" method = "post" action = "mailto:youremailaddress@xxx.xxx" enctype = "text/plain">

The form name and id are variables, the choice is yours.

that's definately the easiest way, but it's very unreliable... it doesn't work on many browsers
