Creating an email form in iweb

Hello,
I would like to create an email form in one of my websites, the type in which you ask a question and sends you an email directly to your email address without having to open mail.
How do I go about it?
Thank you

Hello
I checked the services other members posted. All looks cool, but I would recommend you if you are interested to create this form yourself.
My idea is to create a predesigned form, converted to your needs and post it on the web then use simply an iframe to display at your iweb.
1-download trial Rapid Weaver.
create a contact form and publish to a folder.
open it in dream weaver. delete everything you don't need. -Side bars etc.
and save it.
2- upload contact folder on your site
3-IWEB
open iweb widgets
copy and paste following code
<IFRAME SRC = "*<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.YOURSITE/Contact/index.php">http://www.YOURSITE/Contact/index.php" WIDTH="460px" HEIGHT="405px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
Change bold, and enhance width and height.
it is very simple, fast you can be done in 10 minutes. advantage is that you don't have to pay for any services.
It is not the best solution, but next version of Iweb should have more enhancements like this

Can I create an email form that includes a field for uploading and image?

I'd like to create an email form in Muse that allows people to submit the usual text but also allows them to browse for and upload an image that would be emailed (attached or inline) to me along with the text.
Does anyone know if there's a way to do that directly in Muse?
Thanks.

Which form?
Many of the forms are created with LiveCycle ES so it might be possible to edit the form with Acrobat X Professional. If you have the data in an SQL database, you could possibly create a data connection and import the data into the form and save a copy of the completed form. You can also use the Acrobat JavaScript 'importTextData' to import a row of data from a tab delimited data file.
You might want to talk to other Real Estate professionals to see how they are going do this. If you have a property management program, that program might have an update to perform this task.

How to create an email newsletter using iweb

I was hoping to create a VERY simple newsletter email using iWeb. Are there instructions somewhere on how to do this? I don't want to attach any type of attachment, it defeats the purpose of a short, simple email, yet I'd like a little teensy bit of graphics in it besides the text.
I guess if I could find the .html file that gets created when I hit save -- that would be helpful, but I can't seem to find the file I created on my system. Any clues? What do the files get created as?
Thanks. Ana

iWeb saves files packaged as ".sites2" file wich is an iWeb Domain file. If you are looking to access the "Raw HTML" you will need to publish your website to a folder. As pictured below:

Can I create a sign-in 'form' in iWeb?

Can I create a simple 'form' in iWeb that allows visitors to 'sign in' or leave 'e-mail addresses' (that automatically get sent to my e-mail address)? No passwords or anything complicated.
Ben

No problem...
First, set up a free account at http://freedback.com/
Design a form on their site and select/copy the code they give you.
In your iWeb page, type something like FORMCODE where you want the form to go.
Open TextEdit - free text editor that comes with every mac.
To view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file and click Open.
(If you publish to your .Mac, mount your iDisk to find it. It will be located at iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html)
Find your text, FORMCODE, and replace it with the code you get from Freedback. Save your work.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes all over again!
You could set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt (http://www.hexmonkey.brownhost.com/). It's a useful and FREE little program that makes all this post-publish editing MUCH easier and faster.

Trouble linking AS3 and PHP to create email form

I am using one of the Adobe cookbooks to create an email form for my flash website. I am SO close to getting this right and need some help! I used the AS3 code below as well as the PHP code below in order to create the email form. Everything seems to be working fine, that is until I try to send an email using the form. When I input all of the text into the form, I get the actionscript default warning I wrote that states "Oh no! Something is wrong! Try again..." Hence the email will not send. What could be wrong with the script? Or does it matter where I file the PHP file, my swf file, html file, and my fla file? I tried several combinations of filing everything together, seperate, and everything in between. Help! And thanks for anyone who can help!

It may be indeed a problem of your server rsp. how it handles security issues and relative path-linking.
You wrote: "Or does it matter where I file the PHP file, my swf file, html file, and my fla file..." I suppose you mean where to put all the files.
1.Its a good beginners choice to put all the files you need (swf, html, php you don`t need the fla file on ) in the same directory of your server.
2.If you publish to html from flash there will be three tags in the html (use a texteditor to look at the html-code) that read like this:
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
change them for testing purposes to
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
3.On some servers to prevent malicious code php scripts are restricted to certain directorys, look up the phpinfo on your server
4.Even if swf, html and php are in one and the same directory use a "hard" path in your fla file for testing purposes, for example instead of calling "file.php" in your actionscript, call ("http://www.mydomain.com/directory/file.php"), when testing from flash you may get a better response where the problem lies

Can I create html emails in iWeb?

I see those html emails with the colours and the embedded images and links to the website. The programming doesn't seem tough but I don't know how to create them and then how to send them.
I use Entourage for email but am not married to it, and wondered if anyone had any resources. I'm looking to do a newsletter style email (images links to site, etc.), not that different from an eVite, but I've not heard of anyway to create them.
thanks
enzosf

The way you do this currently is to create your web
page, open it with Tiger Safari, and use the menu
item for emailing the contents. However you may need
to put your page on a server and I think pages
created with iWeb may not work that well -- you would
need to experiment.
I just did this both ways. Creating an email from an iWeb site hosted on the internet worked OK... but didn't pick up the background graphic, tiled.... maybe I just didn't wait long enough! (Ha!)
And I did it from the local files on my computer, (Publish to Folder), and it worked much better, picking up the background immediately.
So....open the page you want (index.html) in Safari>File>Mail Contents of this Page.
Would work GREAT just for doing an email Newsletter with Graphics and such!

Need Help Please email form

Hi,
Can someone please help me out on this. I created a email form and what I want to do is add a coupon after you submit your info.
What I'm thinking is people fill out the form they hit the submit button info gets sent and then a page opens up with the coupon to download.
What kind of code do i need to add.
here is the link http://www.tmsgraphics.net/simplecontactformagape/index.html
Thanks!
Tom

Switching to html when you have your form in flash is wierd. I would simply use if statements.
I won't code it for you because it is so easy. Make an mc called coupon in your fla.
onSubmit
send info with send and load to server
on load
if a returned variable is true coupon form is visible
else coupon form is false
onSubmit coupon
send info with send and load to server
If you use a html popup your coupon may never get viewed.
Javascript may be off or popup blockers on.

Email form with php

Hello,
I have been reading that mailto: is outdated. I have been reading on creating an email form using php. I don't understand. Do you create a table first to put the info:
First Name:
Last Name:
Email:
Message:
Submit button
Does anyone know of a comprehensive article that I could read with maybe some examples or even tutorial.   This is my webstie www.ewrolexrepair.com. This is my first website. I am trying to put somekind of email contact next to my picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Below is a ready made php form including First Name, Last Name, Email and Message.
The form is sent back to the page it is located on i.e. if the form is inserted into a page called 'contact.php' then the action form field would be as follows: <form id="enquiryForm" name="enquiryForm" method="post" action="contact.php">
Change the below in the code to your email address (the one you want the info to be sent to):
$to = "[email protected]"; //email address -- change to your own email address
Change success.php below in the code to the page you want the user to go to after submitting the form.
header("Location: success.php");
//Redirect page -- change to your own page

<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
    // check first_name field
$first_name = trim($_POST['first_name']);
if (empty($first_name)) {
    $error['first_name'] = 'Please provide your first name';
elseif ($first_name == 'Please provide your first name') {
    $error['first_name'] = '';
$_SESSION['first_name'] = $_POST['first_name'];

Help Needed with Email Form Confirmation

I have created an email form that curently defaults to the
home page. Is there a way to have it go to a confirmation page? I
am sure there is something in the HTML Language, but not sure?
Thanks in advance

I like an easy life!
Take a look at bebosoft.com
Formstogo- Purists may object but it works with cgi, php and
asp. can show
error and success pages as well as send the sender a
confirmation email.
OH! almost forgot It's very expensive you may need a morgage
$18 with life time support and I think upgrades.
Used it for a few years
cheers

Simplest Email Form Possible, Please

Hi, I have no experience with PHP. I want to create an email form which has receiver name, receiver email, sender name, sender email, comments, and submit. Is there sample code which I can copy and use, or a very easy-to-understand tutorial for this. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I assume you have ADDT installed. Sadly the Help provided lacks the excellent Interakt tutorials. Look up the Interakt MX Kollection documentation where you will find amongst the How To tutorials "How to send form content by e-mail (without using a database)".
You can get to the Interakt MX Kollection documentation here: http://www.interaktonline.com/Products/Bundles/MXKollection/Documentation/.
By doing a Google I found the tutorial here: http://www.interaktonline.com/Documentation/MXKollection/094000_htsendemailnodb.htm

How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
email list?
It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
Widget and an email account.
By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
when I can afford it).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Mark

Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
In the meantime you can use a form or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.
"I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."

I want to create a form in IWeb can you help?

I need to create a form page in Iweb on my website for visitors to complete and submit back to me.
A Club membership application form.
Anyone able to help??

There are online form sites that you can use like JotForm, Wufoo, etc. Jotform creates some very nice looking forms which you can embed into an iWeb page. The free package gives you 100 submissions per month and 10 SSL secure submissions per month. Over those numbers you will need to pay a monthly fee.
Here are examples of Jotform and Wufoo forms: Embedding Forms
Or you can create your own Form Action form which uses the visitor's own email client to send the information. This is not best integrated method to obtain the information. An example of this type of form is also on the page linked to above.

How to create a folder in which email forms are stored which cab be used and usen again

Hi folks of the free software comunity,
in the olden days I used to use a mail program made by MARINET in England. This received an sent emails via a sattelite connection an nothing else.
The program had a feature called pre-formed mails:
In a special folder lots of pre-written emals where stored - messages that needed to be sent again an again wit slightly changed contens. The address, reference and text fields where already filled.
If needed you would open one of these pre-written mail, change a few items - say the date, number of item or some such
Adress an reference would remain the same.
The SENT the bugger an finished.
In the SENT folder this mail would be shown with the corrected text.
In the special folder the not corrected mail would remain.
The special folder served as a file of mails already written as well as a remainder of what needed to be sent - by looking at the stored mails - an so save the user a lot of work.
My question:
How can this be created in THUNDERBIRD ?
tks n bregards
i.b.b
[email protected] (pls copy an answer to this mail address

Open a new Write message.
Create the email you want to use as a Template, give the 'Subject' a suitable title so you can easily locate that template email, but do not enter any email addresses.
Then click on 'Save' as 'Template' OR File > Save As > Template.
A Templates folder will be auto created and th email will be stored in that Templates folder.
To use:
Select Templates folder to see emails.
Double click on email OR right click on email and select 'Edit as new Messge' to open in a new Write window.
Edit as required and send as usual.
The email in the Templates folder will remain as is and can be reused again and again.
Additional info:
If you wish to send one personalised email to a group, so each person gets their own personalised email, you could consider an addon called 'Mail Merge' which works with Template email and either a .csv file or an address book.

Adobe Acrobat form created and emailed but recipient cannot save the form in reader after filling it out

When I purchased Acrobat today, the Adobe sales rep told me I could create fill-in forms that I could email to others, who could fill them out using Adobe Reader. When the recipient tried to save the completed form, he was unable to save it to his computer, only able to print. Is this correct, or is there a step we are unaware of? He owns Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but I'm using Acrobat 11 (purchased it today). Acrobat Pro 9 cannot open the forms I sent... now we are stuck.
Solutions?

Hi DMOliver,
Please try saving the form as 'Reader Extended' and check.
