Basically im code clueless. A Graphic designer turned web guy. Im working in Dreamweaver and i can create a form with no problem. But i need the form to be sent to email and have no clue how to do that. I guess i need the code and where to put it. Can anyone help, it would be awesome. Keep it real simple and if you can im just learning. thanks.

Thankfully the question you're asking has been asked a million times already and there are many people who have build ready-made ASP Scripts that you can just 'plug and play' anto your website that send form data off to an e-mail.

Search the forums or search Google and you're bound to find something If you need help implementing it, come back here and post your question and we'll be happy to help. I would post some code, but you know what they say about re-inventing the wheel...

HAHA thanks alot..ill give it a try

ok i tried alot of these things and the just dont work for me being code illiterate. If anyone could help with just what the dreamweaver form action and what not should be.
Like i said the godaddy asp address is gdform.asp and the form needs to be sent to smccarthy@nefiber.com. or if you could point me in the direction of the easiest website with a step by step (slow person) process for an ASP form. Im really clueless. I feel stupid. HaHa thanks.

I also use godaddy and they offer a few options.

I assume that you are using ASP (1) Godaddy supplies a file in the root of your site when you first set it up called gdform.asp. This will take all the form feilds from your form and mail it to the recipent specified in your form sent by you. (2) I know that godaddy supports CDONTS. Because they wont give you a specific SMTP server name to send other forms of mailing methods you can use CDONTS as it doesnt require a SMTP server name. I know of several extensions you can use for Dreamweaver which are free, I cant think of them off the top of my head, but do a Google search and Im sure you'll be able to find something!

Good Luck!

Use this ASP script instead

<%
Dim Mail
set Mail=server.createobject("CDO.Message")
Mail.From = "email@email.com"
Mail.To= "email@email.com"
Mail.Subject = "test email"
Mail.TextBody = "<h1>test</h1>"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...tion/sendusing") =2
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...ion/smtpserver") ="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...smtpserverport") =25
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...tpauthenticate") =1
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...n/sendusername") ="my email login eg email@domain.com"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...n/sendpassword") ="my email password"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Update
Mail.Send
set Mail=nothing
%>

Mail.TextBody = "<h1>test</h1>"

bit pointless putting HTML tags in the TextBody don't you think.

I have to do a form for a client using GoDaddy hosting (Windows) that is sent to a particular email based on what city they are in (limited area), the city being determined by a drop down menu.. I believe this is beyond what the GoDaddy installed email program can do. Is this something you can use with CDONTS?

Thanks,

Patricia

It is only beyong the standard script they offer for using the SMTP component, it's simple enough to code your own script to send mail in whatever form and to wherever you want.
It's something you can do with any email component, all you need to do is change the recipient email address.

BTW you should be using CDOSYS for emailing and the code in post 6 is for CDOSYS.

Just because it took me a while to figure out how to get it to work, I just registered and post my results as a working solution with a Godaddy account and windows shared hosting, this working:

<%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
myMail.From="xxx@xxxx.com"
myMail.To="xxx@xxxx.com"
myMail.TextBody="This is a message."
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
'Name or IP of remote SMTP server
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") _
="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
'Server port
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") _
=25 
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
%>

I find it easier to use standard forms or create my own and not the GDform.asp form.

Use the following relay server in your ASP CDONTS code:
relay-hosting.secureserver.net
You do not need to provide a user name and password for this relay server

However, you must be using a GD hosting server for it to work. In other words, it won't work on a third party or home websever. The mail must be sent from a hosted server account.

Hope this helps and is in topic.

Hello.
ASP newbie here.
I'm having a similar problem with godaddy and email.
I'm using:

function SendMail(toAddr, subjectText, bodyText)
Dim Mail
set Mail=server.createobject("CDO.Message")
Mail.From = ADMIN_USERNAME & " <" & ADMIN_EMAIL & ">"
Mail.To= toAddr
Mail.Subject = subjectText
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...tion/sendusing") =2
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...ion/smtpserver") ="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...smtpserverport") =25
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...tpauthenticate") =1
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...n/sendusername") ="admin@MYWEBSITE.com"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...n/sendpassword") ="MY_ADMIN_PASSWORD"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Update
Mail.Send
set Mail=nothing

end function

But my issue is that when I send try to send mail from my site, I get confirmation that the email was 'sent' via "Username 'XXXX' added. Please check your email for the password.", but no email is ever sent.

If I change around the script, I can get plenty of errors, but when it seems to be working properly, I'm still not getting any emails sent to/from active email accounts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Would be helpful to add that I'm on the Free hosting plan at Godaddy?

This won't work either:

function SendMail(toAddr, subjectText, bodyText)

dim mailer
dim cdoMessage, cdoConfig

'Assume all will go well.
SendMail = ""

'Configure the message.
set cdoMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set cdoConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
cdoConfig.Fields.Update
set cdoMessage.Configuration = cdoConfig

'Create the email.
cdoMessage.From = ADMIN_USERNAME & " <" & ADMIN_EMAIL & ">"
cdoMessage.To = toAddr
cdoMessage.Subject = subjectText
cdoMessage.TextBody = bodyText

'Send it.
on error resume next
cdoMessage.Send

'If an error occurred, return the error description.
if Err.Number <> 0 then
SendMail = Err.Description
end if

'Clean up.
set cdoMessage = Nothing
set cdoConfig = Nothing

end function

Same thing happens:
Main sent confirmation page but no email.

Ok... I (as a novice with asp) understand that there is a ton of info on this subject being tossed around, however it is going over my head. I have just changed the a PHP form mailer code that worked into a presumptive ASP form mailer by changing the form action from a .php file to the "gdform.asp" they mention with the help topics. I also changed the submit button action= to "gdform.asp". I left the old exisiting variables the same. I also changed the email address on godaddy to the correct address. And the server from linux to windows --
Will this be all i'll need to do for the exchange (from php to asp)? Will this work? i am afraid to test it.

If you want to use the default GoDaddy script, see their FAQ page for details:

I'm a volunteer for my youth group and I was asked to work on a website, I've gotten a lot of it built up but I have no idea how to do form mail and I don't have a budget at all. I was hoping someone would be able to and and willing to help me by authoring a script and html for the form.
My basic needs are:
A name field
An email field
A dropdown menu with multiple options for who the email goes to (with a hidden master email address that gets copied no matter the choice)
and a body field

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

my site is mktusy.org and if you can help I'll send you the email addresses I need
