EMAIL FORM SCRIPTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is something all webmasters need - a form on your page that visitors can fill in, and have the result sent to you by email (without exposing your email address to spam robots). The best way to learn about it is to DO it, so here are the details of two free scripts that you can use now. Neither require you to sign up. 1. RESPONSE-O-MATIC Response-O-Matic is possibly the best of all the free email form scripts. These are the pages you should get before using the script seriously ... http://www.response-o-matic.com/ http://www.response-o-matic.com/formsintro.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/legal.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/overview.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/refer1.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/refer2.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/refer3.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/refer4.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/refer5.htm http://www.response-o-matic.com/troubleshooting.htm I have put a worked example of a Response-O-Matic form at http://www.netjunk.com/users/websitebyemail/forms01.html You are welcome to get the page and look at the HTML to see how it works. The code for the FORM element alone will be ine the next tutorial message. After the Response-O-Matic form is filled in, the user sees an acknowledgement page, and you get an email with the submitted information neatly structured. There is one slight drawback to the Response-O-Matic script -- but only from the email-only user's point of view. You cannot submit the form from your hard disk -- it must be on a server! So your online users can submit the form to send you information, but you cannot use it yourself using ACCMail methods. Even if your form is error-free, you will get a message like this ... Warning! ----------- You appear to be submitting this form from your local hard drive. No email confirmation will be sent to szs@nospam.net. You must upload the form to your website to activate email. In fact, that message tells me that the script IS working! I have designed my form to be GetWeb-friendly, so you can try it out for yourself if you want to. 2. ANYFORM (follows in the next posting)
