View Full Version : Anyone know HTML or how to code site??
Hey all:
Anyone here familiar or have knowledge of how to code a website? Or HTML??
I recently built my own website, created a FORM with a SUBMIT button at the bottom. Tested it and it keeps going back to the same Form page.
I cannot figure out how to code that button so that when someone fills in the form, I will get that form with the answers in my email. And the person after clicking the SUBMIT button will be taken to my Thank you page.
Can anyone help?? Appreciate any help that will make this work.
Thank you.:D

I think for that to really work, the server needs to support it.
I had a class that included a bit on it, but we didn't cover that function because the student server we used didn't allow it.
You may need to talk to your ISP or check their documentation on using the send mail feature.

Thanks James.
I will check into that.
YES, ISP will support the mail feature.
What I need is to write that HTML code correctly to tell that button to SEND the answers on the form to my email and REDIRECT back to Thank you page.
Anyone know how to do that?? Or where to find info on how to do that??

To make a form work you need your server to support PHP. Otherwise it won't work.

you will need php . it,s the best way
nameofyourpage.php (with your form fields) redirect to a submitpage.php (with THANK YOU! message). this submitpage.php will send you the form fields! you will need to identify carefully all your form fields. and then take the exact form fields name in your submitpage.php...
Thanks guys......
I finally got it to work the way I want it to by rebuilding the entire form. YIPPEE.....

YES, especially with these computer stuff---that machine just don't think like a human, does it???
It was a "hair pulling" day for me yesterday, trying to fiddle with that small SUBMIT button. so much easier just to rebuild the darn thing. Now it works perfectly.:D:D
