Re: Help creating email link?

Please read the updated BlueVoda Form Tutorial 1 . Read the text and look at the example UNDER the multimedia presentation. The mailto: method will NOT work for most cases.

Re: Help--I am really stuck creating email link?

Hi folks,

I mangaed to get my email account set up. I can sned and receive emails to it and from it via outlook express. My problem is setting upa webmail link. I've followed Andy's tutorial to the letter-set up the two pages, contact.html and thankyou.php. Named the email text box email. copied the script page into the html box on the thank you page and changed to email address to mine.. Yet when I go to the actual web page to send the email, nothing happens when I hit the submit button. I think there must be something wrong --the contact.html page is not linking to the thank you page. Any ideas what might be wrong. I've gone ove rit several times and can't find anything wrong in the set up. Should I just delete the pages and start over??

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Tom

Looking at the link above- your form action is set to your e-mail address. This is incorrect- it should be your page that contains the php script to process the form.

Look over the turorial once again. The page that you copied the php script into should then be what your set you actoin to.

Post back if problems persist.

Maybe your submit button is outside the form area, or the action is set wrong. Follow Andy's suggestion: post the URL so we can have a look.
