This is probably the first time i've ever made a form in my life..my problem is that when i hit submit, internet explorer tells me that the form is being submitted by e-mail and that my e-mail address will be revealed, no encryption and it opens up my e-mail program addressed to the recipient e-mail in the form, and nothing at all in the body. My question is, how do I get the form to submit without it opening another e-mail thing, such as gmail, outlook or whatever? Basically a direct submission to the target e-mail. Code: <form method="POST" action="mailto:[email protected]?subject='All-Star Basketball Camp Registration'" ENCTYPE="text/plain"> <font size="3">[b][u]Camper Information[/u][/b]</font> Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="name" SIZE="30"> Address: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="address" SIZE="55"> City: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="city" SIZE="25"> State: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="state" SIZE="2"> Zip Code: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="zip" SIZE="5"> Home Telephone(no dashes): <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="phone" SIZE="10"> Parent Daytime Telephone(no dashes): <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="dayphone" SIZE="10"> Fax(optional): <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="fax" SIZE="10"> Age At Camp: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="age" SIZE="2"> Height(i.e. 5'0"): <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="height" SIZE="4"> Weight(lbs.): <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="weight" SIZE="3"> School: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="school" SIZE="50"> Coach: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="coach" SIZE="50"> Position: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="position" SIZE="50"> Male: <INPUT TYPE="radio" Name="gender" Name="Male"> Female:<INPUT TYPE="radio" Name="gender" Name="Female"> Birthdate: Month <SELECT Name="bday_Month" SIZE="1"> <OPTION SELECTED>January <OPTION>February <OPTION>March <OPTION>April <OPTION>May <OPTION>June <OPTION>July <OPTION>August <OPTION>September <OPTION>October <OPTION>November <OPTION>December </SELECT> Day <SELECT Name="bday_Month" SIZE="1"> <OPTION>1 <OPTION>2 <OPTION>3 <OPTION>4 <OPTION>5 <OPTION>6 <OPTION>7 <OPTION>8 <OPTION>9 <OPTION>10 <OPTION>11 <OPTION>12 <OPTION>13 <OPTION>14 <OPTION>15 <OPTION>16 <OPTION>17 <OPTION>18 <OPTION>19 <OPTION>20 <OPTION>21 <OPTION>22 <OPTION>23 <OPTION>24 <OPTION>25 <OPTION>26 <OPTION>27 <OPTION>28 <OPTION>29 <OPTION>30 <OPTION>31 </SELECT> Year: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="year" SIZE="4"> Parent Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" Name="parent" SIZE="50"> <font size="3">[b][u]Package[/u][/b]</font> [b]Please Check (You may choose more than one):[/b] <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" Name="week" Name="week1"> July 25 - 29, 2006 at Holy Cross Highschool....$150.00 <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" Name="week" Name="week1"> August 1 - 5, 2006 at Holy Cross Highschool....$150.00 <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" Name="week" Name="week1"> July 25 - 29, 2006 at Burlington Township....$150.00 <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" Name="insurance" Name="insurance"> Insurance - per week....$5.00 After submitting this form, please send in the medical form along with a non-refundable deposit of: <center><font size="3">[b] $95.00 deposit for 1 week $135.00 deposit for 2 weeks $180.00 deposit for 3 week Enroll 2 weeks.......Take $15.00 off of total Enroll 3 weeks.......Take $30.00 off of total [/b]</font> [b]Make checks payable to: [/b] Ken Faulkner Basketball, Inc. 901 Second Street Delanco, New Jersey 08057 <font size="2">[b][u]IMPORTANT: Balance is due on or before July 1st, 2006[/u][/b] </font> For Further Information call: [b]856-461-8805 856-461-1577 (Fax)[/b] <INPUT TYPE="submit" Name="Submit Registration"> <INPUT TYPE="reset"> </center> </form> Any ideas?
i think your php buttons are wrong are you sure you use brackets?? becuase it shouldn't show up on the page like it does
I think its beucase of the action you putting at hold on i have an html book right here i am looking at it ....i think its the request to send the email out ...i can't see what else would cause that
shouldn't the form just send the e-mail though directly through internet explorer without any 'middle man' e-mail such as gmail (gmail opened up for me) outlook or whatever? I've looked at many tuts, and they all say to do that, and if i try to use a php script, it asks if i want to download the file.
hey you should try and put it on a site first and see if it works off of there first do you want me to put that on my site??
DAMNIT i tried doing it my self and it came up the same crap and i just did it threw this big book with all these codes...this is so gay give me another few minutes i will fix this !!!
you know this book is like 6 months old which is really old in the freakin iexplorer world so it could be that my bad dude i tried to work it but i wont work...sorry man
I don't know HTML, but common sense tells me that you might need </OPTION> in there after each of your options, from what I've seen elsewhere, although I'm probably wrong, at least I tried <_<
Its not that i put it up on my site and tried it there but it still didn't said the messege about the email...it makes no since
That is correct, you need to close the <option> tags. Also, without using a server side script to process the form, you have to use the mailto action like you have already. If your client, or whoever is using the form has .net framework installed, all they would need to do is hit send once it brings up their mail client.
have a look here... easy to understand and i think it'll help you http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/forms/basicforms.html
The form action is mailto:something. Mailto is a special "protocol" that tells the browser to open the default e-mail application. In this case the form says that the form is to be submitted to that e-mail address there. And since the browser itself isn't a SMTP (outgoing e-mail) server, it needs to open a program that can send the mail, in your case it opened gmail as it can send mail. E-mails are sent by SMTP servers. Usually your Internet Service Provider gives you one. Gmail also gives you one. For example if you use Outlook Express to send mail, you have configured the address to the SMTP server and when you send the mail, it is sent through that server. So because your Internet browser is not SMTP server, it can't send the mail by itself but it opens your e-mail application where you have configured the server. If you want the form to be sent to your e-mail from the server side, you need to have an application on the server that can send the mail, such as Outlook Express on your machine, you just need a CGI program that can do the sending. The requirements are: you need to have SMTP server (gmail's server should do) and a CGI program on the server that is configured to send the form to that SMTP server. The program can be made using ASP, PHP, Perl or any other language that the server supports. If the server is running on Windows, I have a ready program written in C and compiled to Windows executable that can send e-mail from the server.
