A mailback form allows you to get user information, request
feedback, take orders, comments, and suggestions. To add a mailback form, insert the
following lines into your HTML, immediately before your input variables.
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailback.cgi"
METHOD=POST NAME="Form_Name">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="fwd_to" VALUE="YourAddress@YourDomain.com">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="via_html" VALUE="orderform.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="nexturl" VALUE="http://www.YourDomain.com/thankyou.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="E-Mail Subject">
- Form Name is whatever you would like to call
it. You will need this as a reference if you want to
validate your form.
- orderform.htm (or whatever you call it) is the name of
this HTML file. This line is optional.
- thankyou.htm is a file [also optional] you create,
which usually contains a custom message and links to other pages on your site. If omitted,
the visitor will get a plain-vanilla "Thank You" screen, and then they must
figure out how to use the "Back" button on their browser.
- The E-Mail subject appears in your form
response to help identify multiple forms.
- You can reply directly to the person who sent the message if
you create an E-Mail text box field in your form. The name of this field must be
called "Email"
