WWW Forms

Ever wanted to put up a fill-out form on your web pages? Here's a little sample of what you can do. Basically you can write an HTML form and then add an email address for the information to be sent to like so:

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" METHOD="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="username@cloudnet.com">

Be sure to put your own username in above. The type=hidden means that there's not a blank for the user to enter this information. The value is set in the HTML. There are, of course, many other tags you can choose to put in. There are some example tags below, a whole example page, and the gory details in a text file.

Have a blank for the subject of the mail message:
<input type="text" name="subject">

And a return email address:
<input type="text" name="email">

Real Name:
<input type="text" name="realname">

Redirect (what URL to display after the form is sent):
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.cloudnet.com/~username/followup.html>

To require certain fields to be entered for the form to be completed and the mail to be sent, put in something like this:
<input type=hidden name="required" value="email,realname">
