Hi,
I suspect this may have been brought up before, but I'm not sure where to look. I created a web site using Webeasy 7 Professional. Since this is the first time I've ever created a web site I am very new to this and don't know HTML, but am fairly proficient in other computer uses and can usually figure out most problems. I created a form within the program and customized it for a new business I'm starting. After publishing the web site with Godaddy I tried filling in the form and sending it. It was configured to go to an e-mail address I configured in my personal e-mail account. However, I discovered that when sending the form from my other computer, which has the same operating system and e-mail program (Windows XP, IE7, and Outllook Express 6) it generated an e-mail with no attachment. From the computer I created the web site on it worked ok, just not on my other computer. After checking the FAQs for my program I discovered I needed a "form mailer script" and had to obtain it from my Web host provider, Godaddy.com. Unfortunately their tech support seems limited and they directed me to a page they have called "Using the ASP Form-Mailer". They told me to change my web site to what that page says. They said that the techs don't know coding, but I had to use it exactly as the page said. Here's what they said to change my page to:
<form action="gdform.asp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form Submission" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />
<p>First Name:<input type="text" name="FirstName" /></p>
<p>Last Name:<input type="text" name="LastName" /></p>
<p>E-Mail:<input type="text" name="email" /></p>
<p>Comments:<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10">
Type comments here.</textarea></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
I entered it in the "custom script assistant" of Webeasy 7 Pro. After converting it back to HTML within the program, uploading it back to Godaddy, it totally screwed up my form page. I talked to them more and asked if it was correct, as it was shown as an "example" on their FAQ, but was told I had to do it exactly as it was shown. Well, it doesn't work. The best I've been able to do is to take the first line -
form action="gdform.asp" method="post"
and change it in the HTML Action of the program. After resending it back to them the page looks ok, but when the form is submitted I get a page that says Page not found and some other instructions. When I call Godaddy back for tech support they tell me to put that other coding back into that page, but my results are the form becomes unusable and doesn't work. Can anyone out there help me with this?
