Adding Forms

I am in the process of re modelling an old web site that has'nt been updated for years.
The old site used to have a form type page that visitors could add comments or check boxes of interest. How do I create such a form in Dreamweaver 8, and what settings do I require in the properties box, so when they fill it in it goes to an email address of my choice.
The easiest way please.

RE: Adding Forms

Hi Stephen

You basically need to create an email form, where you have a number of fields for the user to select. When a submit of complete button is click, the results get send to an email address.

The type of email form that you create really depends on what type of hosting that you have, as it involves a small amount of code e.g php, jsp, asp.

The following website should really help you out with the code side of things.

hope this helps

RE: Adding Forms

Stephen,

You can also put "mailto:your-email@address.com" as the action for your form, but this not secure nor formatted. The user also gets a warning message that mail is being sent etc. Uses the mail client installed on user's machine.

See also http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/emailfwd/ for free e-mail form forwarding service.

Regards, Rich
