Sample Mailto CGI Form

Most Internet Service Providers charge extra for the ability to have the contents of an online form sent back to you via e-mail. We at Elite Host believe that having static web pages for people to see but not respond to are relatively worthless. Receiving feedback and orders from your prospects and clients is usually the most important reason to build a website!


Website Mailto CGI Forms:

The most common question we are asked is, "How do I create a website form?"

While we could write volumes on the subject, we feel the best solution is to offer a few examples, and and a brief tutorial on using Formmail, our form posting CGI program.

The first, and most important thing to do, is create a form. If you are completely unfamiliar with creating forms, you can find several tutorials at CoPromote.

If you would prefer to use a simple template that you can customize, try cutting and pasting this code, provided here in text form. Once you cut and paste it to a word editor, save it as an .htm or .html file extentesion. The resulting form will look like this.

Again, this is only intended as a place for you to start, not a complete form. Use the Formmail tutorial to learn how to create a more powerful form.

Try it out!

Enter your name:
Address this mail will be sent to: (to receive a copy)
Address this form is coming from: (to know who sent it)

How informative do you find this website?

Normally, the address that your form will be sent to is pre-determined and programmed into the form. For purposes of having this form mailed to you, we have left the return address blank for your to fill in.
