This script is named formmail.asp and it is located at http://www.mccinfo.net/webresources/cgi-bin/formmail.asp. It can be controlled and customized using the input tags described in the table below.
The first step is to set the form action and method in
the <form> tag. This should be set as follows:
<form method="post" action="http://www.mccinfo.net/webresources/cgi-bin/formmail.asp">
NOTE: You will need to upload your forms that are processed using this script to the server to test them.
| Input name | Description |
|---|---|
| recipient | Only field required by the script. This
form field allows you to specify to whom you wish for your form results
to be mailed. To send the form to multiple recipients separate them with
a comma.
Example: |
| subject | Subject of the email message. Use input type="text" if you want the user
to be able to set the topic. Use type="hidden" if you want to set the
subject line Example: To allow the user to choose a subject: <input type="text" name="subject" /> |
| realname | The name of the user filling out the form as entered by
the user.
Example: |
| This form field will allow the user to specify their return
e-mail address. If you name the text field "email", the
ASP script will require that the format of the email address entered
be in a valid format. This also makes the email input field a required
field. If you don't want this field to be required, use a slightly
different name for the the input field. Something like "emailaddress" could
be used.
Example: |
|
| comments | Textarea or field with the actual message of the sender |
| required | Defines what input fields must be filled out by the user. Use a
comma-delimited list for the value, for example value="email,realname,phone"
Example: |
| redirect | Specify a URL in this field to redirect the user to a specific page once the email has been successfully sent, rather than showing the default "thank you" page. The value can be an absolute or relative path. If you use a relative path, it is relative to the location of the ASP file. It is recommended you use an absolute path pointing to the response page as shown in the example below: Example: |
| hide_blanks | Hides blank fields in the emailed results. If you add this field to your form with a value of "1" fields not filled out by the user are not printed in the body of the email message. Example: |
| bgcolor | Background color of the return page.
Example: |
| background | Background image of the return page. Must be a complete URL
Example: |
| text_color | Color of text on the return page. Example: |
| link_color | Color of links on the return page. Example: |
| vlink_color | Color of visited links on the return page. |
| alink_color | Color of active links on the return page. |
| title | Title of the return page. Example: |
| return_link_url | The URL of the page the user gets to from the return page.
Example: |
| return_link_title | Title of the return link.
Example: |
| font_face | Font face on return page
Example: |
| font_size | Font size on return page. The value used with this tag is based on the HTML font size scale of 1-7. Example: |
| no_table | Set value to "1" if you don't want tables on the return-page |
| env_report | Use the value of HTTP_USER_AGENT and the browser that the
user is in will be reported along with the information they submit in the
form. Example: |
