The sampform.htm file included in this archive is a template you can use to give your pages the benefit of user-input forms. The data from their input will automatically be emailed to the address you specify (see below) and you have the options of sending the user a customizable courtesy reply and of adding each user's input to a flat-file database which can be downloaded and used in any database prog for report generation.
The sampform.htm file will look good in your browser in its current state. However, it won't be of any use to you until you configure it to your needs. This file will present you the essential lines of HTML code you should modify to do that. If you've other questions, please contact Ashley Bass (abass@iname.com).
Here is a copy of the sampform.htm form code. My tack here is to just draw your attention to the lines that you should change. I'll add comments below those lines only. Any other questions, please email me.
NOTE: as of Wednesday, 2/19/97 the "Print_config" funtion is gone. I set the script up so that the poster's name and email address will always be included in the body of the mail message. This was necessary in order to facilitate the append to database function properly. Thanks to Joe Newton for the push and ideas to get the database function working "flawlessly."
