hello friends how do i add a feedback page to my cs5 website. i could not understand the tutorial i was using i did not get it quite right
Which one?
This one?
http://www.thesitewizard.com/dreamweaver/dreamweaver-cs5-5-tutorial-8. shtml
Did you complete it all? Where did you have trouble with it?
Got a link to what you've done so far so we can view it in our browsers?
i completed the section that looked at the feedback up to that time. the link is http://www.thesitewizard.com/dreamweaver/dreamweaver-cs5-tutorial-8.sh tml
You do know that besides the HTML pages you create, you need the .php script file that performs the action on your Web server also, correct?
So to test the form, you need either a local server or an on-line Web server.
Best to post a link to the actual page with the form on it so we can take a look.
Best wishes,

hello Adninjastrator or anyone available at the moment. i do understand that i need a php script; the tutorial i was using explained something like that. thi is the actual link to the page were i got the tutorial: http://www.thesitewizard.com/dreamweaver/dreamweaver-cs5-tutorial-8.sh tml my site is: http://www.7thbasketh.org/ and i needed to place my feedback form on the the contact page.
I'd suggest you just add the form as best you can so we can see what you've got so far.
Here is an example of a form:
http://www.olympicdiscoverytrail.com/contact_us.html
View the page source code and look for this line:
<form action="feedback.php" method="post">
This is the start of the form and the
action="feedback.php"
says... submit this form to the file "feedback.php". That is the php file on the server that will react with the form once the submit button is clicked.
Your form will need something similar.
Of course you'll need to have that script on your server... written in php, to interact with the form.
If you find the DW tutorial a little hard to follow, there are tons of others available on the Internet. For example:
http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php
You do not need to use a Dreamweaver tutorial just because you are using DW. Google "php mailto form" for a gazillion other examples.
