Inserting a Form Troubles

Apr 4, 2011 12:19 PM

I am using Dreamweaver 8 and I cannot get the form to work for me. I created the new page, I created the confirmation page and webform.txt file in notepad and uploaded them all to the site. I linked my submit button to my confirmation page, so that works wonderfully, but the email never comes through. So, if anyone fills this out, they think it has gone through because they get to a confirmation page, but the email fails to ever appear in my inbox. I don't know how to link my webform so that it automaticlly sends an email to an email address.

 

This is my practice page: http://www.kennesaw.edu/historymuseum/practiceform.shtml. I would very much appreciate any help possible.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Robyn

    The HTML source code of your page reveals that the "webform.txt" file sits in the /cgi-bin/cgiemail/project/ directory and hence is supposed to be a CGI script.

     

    I´m not very familiar with CGI stuff and you didn´t yet post the "webform.txt" code, so right now it´s impossible to say why things don´t work for you.
