I've been trying to figure out how to process a simple form. I have
the form html coded with all fields and ready to go, but i'm having
difficulty with the posting script part of it. I've read several
tutorials and viewed source codes, but i'm still missing a step
somewhere. Any help will be endlessly appreciated. here's my script:

<form action="http://www.chiasset.com" method="POST"><input
type=hidden name="recipient" value="[email protected]">

i would like for the form results to be emailed to [email protected].
The website is www.chiasset.com. host site is www.godaddy.com


thanks!

Actually, this newsgroup is for questions pertaining to forms in
Microsoft Access. You'll likely get more helpful responses in a more
appropriate newsgroup. That being said...

One option is to write a script to handle the form's data using a
CGI-type programming language such as Perl or ASP. It's a fairly
simple procedure if you're a little familiar with CGI.

Another option: If you're using Microsoft Frontpage to build your web
page, you can use the built-in "Frontpage Extensions" to collect data
from the form and e-mail it or store it or whatever. To do this, your
host must support Frontpage Extensions, and they must be "activated"
on your account. This is mucks up your HTML and creates a bunch of
frivolous files and directories on your server, but it's a quick and
easy way to collect data with a form.

That's all I know.
