kingrattus Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't consider myself a programmer, but I am a logical person so I can edit, read, & poke code fairly well, just be easy on the lingo & I'll have no problems understanding what needs to be done I created an adoption & a surrender form for our Rescue in HTML. When the client completes the form & clicks on the send button I would like the form(s) to be emailed to us. I don't want the clients Outlook to do the work, I want the work to happen on our end (server side, I believe is the correct term) as not everyone uses outlook. I copied this from one of the billion sites I have found trying to find answers/help... <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://mailgate.server-mail.com/cgi-bin/mailgate"> <input type=hidden name="recipient" value="aasw@memberbenefits.com.au"> <!-- Change as relevant --> <input type=hidden name="subject" value="Contact Us"> <input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.memberbenefits.com.au/AASW/Forms/Form response.html"> The above code seems to be what I want to go in my form(s) code... This is what I need the most help with: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://mailgate.server-mail.com/cgi-bin/mailgate"> What url do I put there & how do I get it? I haven't been able to find information past this point, mostly as I have no idea what I need to google. If someone could point me in the proper direction(s) I would greatly appreciate it!! <3 Thank you for your time, Jess PS. During the day I can reply to messages, & poke the server, but I wont have access to the forms as my PC at home is a POS & can't handle Dreamweaver. I'll have access to this PC in the evenings (at the boyfriends) till the wee hrs of the night. So I'll be slow at testing things, if it comes to that.

I sent an email requesting the above information about the server, as there doesn't seem to be a list as to what is/n't installed on the server. Hopefully I'll get a reply from them quickly.
