creating custom forms

[TheMortician4]

Okay this is what I now have:

<form action="MAILTO:[email protected]" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="your name" /><br />
Your Phone Number (area code included)<br/>
<input type="text" name="phone" value="your phone" /><br />
E-mail:<br />
<input type="text" name="mail" value="your email" /><br />
Order or invoice number:<br />
<input type="text" name="order" value="order number" size="50" />
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

</form>


But when the mailer opens up it states that it is a form mail, but the data fields still are not importing, ie; name, phone, etc...

Copying your code (and changing the mailto address) to an EZ page and into the shipping info page works for me in both cases.

Okay now you lost me, have no easy pages, ( am clueless as to how to do them and what they do). Would you kindly walk me through it?

But you don't need to bother with them if you want the form in the shipping info define page.

I copied your code from post #4 into the shipping info define page (as you did), changed the mailto address to my address and it worked fine - it inserted the information from the fields into the email and sent them on.

When I do it, it open my mailer system, my system is the email system that is associated with my domain. When I hit the submit button I get this 404 error:

The requested URL /return request.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server at store.bbiclan.com Port 80


Originally it was looking for a file and said the file did not exist. So I altered the code as such:

<form name="input" action="return request.html" method="get">
<form action="MAILTO:[email protected]" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="your name" /><br />
Your Phone Number (area code included)<br/>
<input type="text" name="phone" value="your phone" /><br />
E-mail:<br />
<input type="text" name="mail" value="your email" /><br />
Order or invoice number:<br />
<input type="text" name="order" value="order number" size="50" />
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

</form>
