Adding a Form to your Webpage

How to use a form on your website.
Connect offers a program that allows you to send mail from a form on your page. This is the same program that we use throughout our site! Visitors simply enter their name, email address and an email message and send mail to you with a click. All you have to do is copy & paste the following code into your page, and modify any fields you like to customize your form.

MailForm sample HTML <FORM ACTION="http://users.conninc.com/cgi-bin/mailto.exe" METHOD="post"> <Input type="hidden" NAME="sendto" VALUE="root@conninc.com"> <Input type="hidden" Name="server" value="mail.conninc.com"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" value="subject"> <INPUT type="hidden" NAME="resulturl" value="http://users.conninc.com/mailto.html"> <input type="Submit" value="Send Email"> </form>
sendto = Who to send the email to
server = the mail server to use. mail.conninc.com is the default
subject = this will appear in the mail's subject line - If you wish to make the subject customizable by the user, change the input type from hidden to text
resulturl = This is where you will be redirected to after you submit the form.
A good option would be your site: http://users.conninc.com/username/

The Box above contains HTML code that will make the form below. To use it, simply copy and paste it into your web page.

Buy a Book and read up on HTML, even if you don't want to learn it. Trying to make a page from scratch, then get it on the Internet is very tricky, at times. If you're not technically inclined, you will probably appreciate the extra help.
Pick a good Web Page editor. Some of the more popular ones are Netscape Composer, Microsoft FrontPage, Allaire Homesite, HotDog Pro, and Arachnophilia. You can find trial versions of these programs at:
