Help With Email Form.

[Alan]

Hey,

 

So here is what I need help with,

 

I am currently working on a "eMail Me Form" which will allow the visitor to eMail me using it... Simple eH? But here is the twist, I want to make it so that the visitor sends me the eMail to "eMail@tinywizard.net" and I send a confirm eMail back to them from a eMail address or alias "reply@tinywizard.net" but if they reply to the message I want it to get bounced back to them.

 

I would also like to add a drop-down menu that when changed from <Select One> would be used as the Subject of the eMail. But I want them to have to change it, I want <Select One> to be Required to be changed from <Select One> so that they HAVE to select a subject related to their eMail.

 

I would also like to have all of the form elements set with the required tag, so what exactly do I add, and where do I add it to make them have to put their info there?

 

I also need help with the part

<form method="post" action="mailto:eMail@tinywizard.com">

Does that look right? Or did I use the wrong command for the action?

 

Here is my entire script as of now.

 

<form method="post" action="mailto:eMail@tinywizard.com">

 

        <table border="0">

                <tr>

                        <td align="right"><p>First Name:</td>

                        <td><p><input

type="text" size="40" name="firstName"></td

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td align="right"><p>Last Name:</td>

                        <td><p><input

type="text" size="40" name="lastName"></td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td align="right"><p>Email:</td>

                        <td><p><input

type="text" size="40" name="email"></td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td align="right" valign="top"><p>Message:</td>

                        <td><p><textarea

name="message" wrap="virtual" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea></td>

                </tr>

        </table>

       <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="send message">

 

        </form>

 

And here is the big question lol, I want the form to match my site, so I would be very happy and thankfull, if you could also refresh my memory of the commands to change the background, border, text and default value < Which will clear when the focus is set on it of the form objects.

 

If you might point out what I need to add/remove to make this form work like I have explained, I will be very greatfull.

 

Thanks ahead of time!

And is there anyway using a database or script to post the contents of their eMail in my "Thank you page" ?

 

And what command would I use for them to be sent to a "Thank you page" once their form has been submitted, and to have them sent to a Try again page if their eMail failed?

 

Thanks again!

Alan, you may want to look at the Ultimate Form Mail script.

Yah, take a look at the UFMS.

 

Or you could always have me custom-write one for you.

[Alan]

Yah, I think this one will do it!

 

Thanks, and once I learn more about forms, I will write my own and replace the forms on my site.

 

 

 

Thanks!
