Step 1.

Decide where you want to have your form placed. This can be on an html page already on your web site, or you may wish to create a brand new page to display this form. Then decide what information you want to ask on your form. You can use this form as a way for people to simply email you from your web site and/or to answer specific questions, place orders, make inquiries, etc., etc ... the possibilities are endless... You decide.

Step 2.


Copy and Paste the following two lines of code to your page exactly as they appear here to begin your Form
  • <FORM ACTION="/cgi-sys/mailform" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden name="recipient" value="DesiredUser@example.tld">
Backspace over the text between the quotes where it says DesiredUser@example.tld and replace this text with the email address you would like to receive the FormMail responses at. (e.g. your email address). The form should only send to ONE email address and that email address should be e.g. You@YOURdomain.com</B>


Step 3.

Think about what you want to ask for and use any of the fields described in further detail below to set up your form.

Step 4.


Copy and paste the following three lines of code at the end of your form. These lines are what put the buttons on your page and close your form. You may change the 'VALUE' to anything you would like it to say on your buttons. The Submit Button is what sends the form. The Reset Button will clear the viewers input for them and allow them to start over. (You do not need to include the 'reset' button; it's considered common courtesy to do so though.)
  • <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send" >
    <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Restart">
    </FORM>
All that's left to do is upload your new page to your web site and let your viewers know it's there by remembering to provide links to your new form!

I hope this helps!!
