| An Advanced Form Handler |
|
CommerceStreet.com's
FormMailHTML.asp form handler provides form handling
functionality commonly associated with Perl script handlers. It works equally well with or without FrontPage.
It is in your /cgi-sys/ directory. This is a virtual system directory which
you will not see with ftp or FrontPage.
FormMailHTML.asp offers features not available in the standard
Microsoft FrontPage form handler, and is easier to use than Perl form handlers
such as FormMail.pl.
FormMailHTML.asp is configured with hidden form fields, as
opposed to hard coding parameters in Perl scripts. The advantages include (1)
using the same form handler for different forms with different results, (2) not
having to edit Perl scripts, and (3) forms can be processed based on a
respondent's form selections.
FormMailHTML.asp merges form results into an html formatted file to email form results as formatted
html emails.
FormMailHTML.asp can merge the form results into an
html results page and send that page to the respondent's browser after the form
is processed.
Standard Form Fields:
These form fields are optional and
are used if provided.
| Name |
Full name of form respondent |
| FName - LName |
First and last name of form respondent,
these values will over-ride the 'Name' field above. |
| EMail |
Email address of form respondent |
Hidden Form Fields:
Field names in red are mandatory.
These field values are normally defined in hidden form fields, but can be
specified with drop down menus or radio buttons to process forms based on
form selections.

| FormMailMessageHTML |
HTML format file into which form field results are merged. This is a standard
ASCII text file with field names enclosed with '<!' and '>'. For

not case sensitive in the format files. |
