Form to email script with Frontpage XP

This guide will show you how to create a Form to E-mail script with FrontPage

You can send form results (data that a site visitor enters in your form) in an e-mail message. Each time a site visitor submits a form, a message containing the results of the form is sent to the e-mail address you specify.

1. In Page view, right-click on a form element (e.g. a text input field), and then click Form Properties on the shortcut menu.



2. Check the Send to radio button. In the E-mail address box, type the e-mail address to which you want to send the form results. If you do not want results saved to a file in addition to being sent in e-mail, clear the File name box.



3. Click Options, and then click the E-mail Results tab. Then do one or more of the following:

  • In the E-mail format box, set the format of the text.
  • In the Subject line box, type the text that you want in the subject line of the e-mail. If you leave this box blank, the default subject line in the e-mail will be "Form Results."
  • If you want the subject line of the e-mail to contain the results of one field from your form, select Form field name, and then type the name of the field in the Subject line box.
  • In the Reply-to line box, if you want a specific e-mail address to appear as the sender of the e-mail (the From or Reply To line in the e-mail), type the address.
  • If your form contains a field that collects the site visitor's e-mail address, you can use that address as the sender's address. In the Reply-to line box, select Form field name, and then in the Reply-to line box, type the name of the form field.

4. Click OK on both pop-up windows. If a FrontPage alert pops up asking "Would you like to remove the e-mail recipient?" click NO.
