Form on Geocites

[mfalk15]

For the moment i'm hosting my site on geocities untill I purchare a host and domain. and i've created with dreamwear 4 a bare bones version of a form. (http://ca.geocities.com/mfalk15/order-form1.html) Now i've never done a form before and i have no idea how to get it to send a copy to my email. I know i need a CGI-Bin Script. but does geocities even support that?

Hey mfalk15,

If you go to http://ca.geocities.yahoo.com/ and then log in, on the main page click on "Web Site Add-Ons" and on the left hand side click on "email forms" under communications

it will show a VERY basic form and it will show you how to add the HTML code to your site and the form will go to your email inbox

GOOD LUCK!

geocities does not have cgi-bins. You can only use their addons. In addition to the previous suggesion you can use bravenet.com for free form hosting.

Ok so i've decided to use yahoo's add ons so i can host it on my site but is there a way that after you hit submit that u go to a page on my website and not a server page?

wich tell the user the email they just sent with no links to webpage.

You could try adding the recipient tag to the form


<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="path/to/redirect.htm">


not sure if it will work in conjunction with the yahoo addon script.

that in the submit button code?

Just put it under the first form tag


<td height="233" width="80%">
<form name="Order Form" method="post" action="http://ca.geocities.yahoo.com/forms?login=mfalk15">
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="path/to/redirect.htm">
