Yet another awful form problem :)

thetzfreak · 03-13-2005, 01:46 PM

Hi.

I used the forum making tutorial on bravenet (http://pub22.bravenet.com/emailfwd/aboutforms.php), but for some reason, it doesn't work. I did everything it told me to. When I uploaded it to my server, I tried to test it. I put in my info and clicked "submit" and a message came up saying: "This form is being submitted using e-mail. Submitting this form will reveal your e-mail address to the recipient, and will send the form data without encrypting it for privacy. You may continue or cancel this submission."
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/website-development/75120-yet-another-awful-form-problem.html

Obviously, I clicked ok, and my pop3 email program came up! Nothing is written in my message, and I can see to whom I'm sending the message to. I obviously don't want people to know my e-mail address. What should I do? Here is the html code that I used:

Code:

<form method="post" action="mailto:contact@stickerware.com"><input type="text" name="Name" value="" size="15" maxlength="25"><p>
			<input type="text" name="E-Mail Address" value="" size="15" maxlength="25"></p>
			<p><textarea name="Message" rows="4" cols="30"></textarea></p>
			<p><input type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
			</form>

This is simple code. Please help me! What should I do?

It does work. That is how an HTML 'mailto:' works -all it does is call up your mail client and fill in the fields.

Does bravenet allow you to host php (or some other server-side language) scripts on your server space?

Sounds like you want a script based email form. You will need to run CGI or PHP scripts. See http://scripts.dbmasters.net/index.php?id=39 and http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml for some possible scripts.

If you don't want to go to that trouble, or can't run the scripts, you might want to use Bravenet's email forms.
