kendra Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Hi again - I realize I'm taking over with my questions here, but I can't figure out how the forms work? I know how to make them in the Dreamweaver, but how do I get them to work? Do they e-mail me or something? If so - how do I set that up? Also - is it possible to get info from multiple forms in one e-mail? My site is going to be a place where people can place orders for artwork and I'm putting in jump-menus that will take them to the pages they choose, where they will have to shoose additional things from lists. For example: the original order page will have a jump-menu where they can choose framed or unframed. That will take them to the page of thier choice where they will choose color scheme, subject matter, type of frame, etc. Then they will go to the shipping info page., etc. I would need to have all that info (3-4 pages worth) together, if possible. Please talk to me in bare-bones terms people. I have no idea what I'm doing! Quote
DCS Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 kendra, I don't have a definite answer for you but if you post this question in the 'Open Discussion' forum, I'm sure you'll get a lot more answers. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 As you are using Dream Weaver for this I would leave the question here in the DW forums. I can not provide an answer as I do not use DW myself. Others do and should be along soon to assist. Quote

I just thought it would have been a good idea to post it in the Open Discussion forum so more people could view it. But I'm sure someone will come along and help. Quote
Deverill Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 When you get your form all set up you can hilight it and in the properties box for the form it will have Action and Method. Method is POST, Action is the name of a script you must have to handle the information. One script a lot of us use that was created by a long-time TCH customer is at www.surefirewebdesign.com/scripts/ and it's called the Ultimate Form Mail Script. Jack has done a great job keeping it very easy to set up and with a little patience and some reading you'll get the hang of it. If you have any questions after reading the info on Jack's site just come back here and ask! Quote
DCS Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 There is actually a thread talking about Form Mail [click to view]. Try to use that to your advantage. I used Dodo's Script, really easy to use. Quote
