Form submission options

[PWR]

Is there an ad-free third party form submission mechanism that can be used to bypass the default html - mailto:email and send the processed form directly to a specified e-mail.

There are instances where the mailto:email format does not work for various clients.

Captcha feature would be nice also.

Re: Form submission options

I found it at Email Me Form and it works, of course after a few hours of tinkering with it. Free and you can set a captcha as well to prevent message spam.

THis is what I did.

1. register an account at http://www.emailmeform.com/

validate the link in the e-mail you specified for the account to complete registration

2. Follow step by step and create a form (Make sure to sample the background that matches your page and the same font, etc..)

TIP: if you're including a phone field, change the validation to none, otherwise if users use dashes or parenthesis, your form will give the user an error which really sucks.

TIP: Specify the link to a page on your website that you will create later and name the page for example submit.html < This will include the message the user will get once he hits submit. (I just duplicated my feedback page in bluevoda, renamed it 'submit.html' and created a text field with a message for the user'

3. Save the html code provided after the wizard completes in a text file

3. Create your contact webpage (html) in blue voda and insert a text field where you want your form to start.

4. Type in for the text 'stophere' and save your form

5. publish the page, go to bluevoda ftp under Tools > FTP Manager Connect, and save all the files and pictures associated with the contact form locally.

Go to the folder where you saved it and right click on the main page let's say contact.html and open in notepad.

6. Do a Find for stophere and then replace the whole tag, not just the word with the HTML code you saved from the Email Me Form website and insert it. You might have to move this code a bit to different locations to get it to show up in the browser preview.

7. To test, close the notepad editor and right click the html webpage to preview it in a browser. You should be a ble to fill in the form, submit it and check your e-mail to see if you got it.

8. Make sure you create a submit html page as well with a message like
'Thank you, successfully submitted' which you can link to once the user clicks submit on the form.

Re: Form submission options

Why don't you simply use BV's Built in form processor ?

It will submit the visitor's info directly to your specified email address without going through the mailto: ...... , that is, without using the visitor's email client (which as you mentioned, not always works.)

Re: Form submission options

I tried that. It won't accept all of my products. To large I guess.

Re: Form submission options

Well, It took me 3 minutes to reproduce your form in BV, so I can't understand why you couldn't create it.

Re: Form submission options

I tried to use the copy and paste method for the html box with no luck. it seems like it would only take part of my product list and not all. I thought maybe their was a limit on that. i dont no how you did it.

Re: Form submission options

I would recommend you to reconsider your design I had to submit two different forms from one page. Why are you actually submitting the form to two different actions. You can start with w3schools for basics. w3schools cover most of the things you need to know. For more information, you can check php.net . P.S. In my earlier example, there is an extra " for input type=submit can you design one action that will process both the forms (or to say just one form that will contain both the warehouse and address information). That action will first persist the warehouse object, and then use its id to persist the address object...
