Website Web Mail Form
If you are in charge of developing a Big B Creations hosted web site & you wish to include a Mail Form to take fields from your form and submit them to an email address, we have MailForm.asp available to use. An example of the MailForm on Big B Creations
You can use the form to process virtually any web form fields you wish to use. In some cases we have customized the MailForm to allow for File Attachments such as Resumes and Photos. With some JavaScript savvy you can also use the form to enforce Required Fields & give the user a message indicating the Required Field.
To use the MailForm requires basically two steps.
- Download the MailForm.asp File. NOTE: It is configured to work on Big B Creations web hosting servers already.
- Place & Modify the following code into your HTML at the top of the Form Tag.
<form name="RequestForm" action="../MailForm.asp" method="post">
<input type="HIDDEN" name="FROM_ADDRESS" value="info@bigbcreations.com" />
<input type="HIDDEN" name="HOST" value="mail.bigbcreations.com" />
<input type="HIDDEN" name="REDIRECT_TO" value="../Index.htm" />
<input type="HIDDEN" name="SUBJECT" value="Web Request" />
<input type="HIDDEN" name="TO_ADDRESS" value="info@bigbcreations.com" />
Fields you can modify are:
<form name="RequestForm" action="../MailForm.asp" method="post">
Make sure the Path to the MailForm.asp file is correct. Modify "../" as needed.
<input type="HIDDEN" name="FROM_ADDRESS" value="zaphod@mydomain.tld" />
You may want to have your own FROM_ADDRESS.
<input type="HIDDEN" name="HOST" value="mail.bigbcreations.com" />
Leave this one as is. The Email Servers won't listen to unknown senders.
<input type="HIDDEN" name="REDIRECT_TO" value="../Index.htm" />
Modify your Path and File name as you wish. Some people choose to use a Thank_You.htm or other Warm Fuzzy how do you do. If you have a Unique Page it can be tracked on Big B Creations Hosted Websites by using our Website Traffic Report system.
<input type="HIDDEN" name="SUBJECT" value="Web Request" />
I suppose if Web Request says it all, then have at it. Or perhaps you have a Jop Application Form, a Press Contact Info Form, who knows... your call.
<input type="HIDDEN" name="TO_ADDRESS" value="beeblebrox@yourdomain.tld" />
Please change this one...
