Help with forms

[Some_Fun]

I have tried and tried to get a form to work properly. I am using frontpage and I believe everything is installed in the cgi-bin folder however I am still unable to sucessfully see the test.

I am very new at all of this and just trying whatever I can read about.

Please if you can help that would be great. Email me or yahoo me if you want to. tnevels1@woh.rr.com, somethinsimple2002

What do you mean you can't install it? And what aren't you getting? :? If you want help, you need to give people more information -- not just "I can't do it" or "It's not working." We need to knwo what is happening when you try and any error messages you get. Is your form a cgi based form? Or is it just an html form?

[GatorBrent]

Easy angel! We get a lot of people not knowing how to work matts formmail from the control panel. Think you can write up a step by step tutorial for us on every step of setting it up? Been needing one of those to offer our customers. I'll credit your account $15 if ya can write one up. 8)

Hello,

I've put the formmail as specified above at

http://www.khamush.com/contact/index.htm

the message box is very small, tried to make it bigger couldn't get anywhere, also when I press send brings up an error

http://www.khamush.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl

any suggestions would be much appreciated

You are linking it wrong it's /cgi-sys/formmail.pl not cgi-bin


Look over the example one we setup again, and copy that.

[ntsolak]

thanks, I've copied to code exactly still brings up an error message I am afraid, but I do receive the messages, a copy is below, is there any way of making the message bigger as well.

apologies, I've completely missed the l in the html, I was looking for something more obvious, many thanks it's working alright now. Is there are a way of making the message box larger?

name="email" size="20" change that to the size you want. 30 is bigger then 20.

[ntsolak]

I've changed the size, it appears double the length, but no width. I then
added width 40 but didn't make any difference

<input type="text" name="tellme" size="40" height="40" value="Email content">
