Your Server

I created a form in HTML. When visitors fill in this form I want the submit button to email my boss. Help!?

I'm very novice, I searched for an answer but i don't know what to do. All I know if our dedicated virtual server can handle ASP.

1. You need to use a CGI form. Search for that in yahoo. It'll pop up tutorials for you to use. It's fairly simplistic when you understand what you have to do.
2. w3schools.com WILL help you.. Just click HTML tutorial until it tells you about forms.
3. <form action="mailto: YOUR BOSS's EMAIL@WHATEVER.com?subject=WHAT YOU WANT THE SUBJECT TO BE CALLED WHEN HE GETS THE EMAIL" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <table><tr><td> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center> <INPUT TYPE="submit" value="submit"> </td></tr></table> </FORM>
4. if u have CGI support u shud check ur server for formmail.cgi you should find that in ur cpanel or something .. any kind of control panel u have will show u an example .. should be easy to implement
5. put it on a yahoo 360? get instant email notice sent to him when message is left
6. HTML form programming consists of two parts. The first, it sounds like, you have completed - the making of the form. The next part is a program to process the form data. There are many canned & free applications to convert form data into e-mail format. Search for formmail and you will find plenty of choices. Then when you get the formhandler you will have to do some configuration (server names, acceptable domains to send e-mails to, other such things) and then code it similar to what the other people answering your question suggest. Then test!
