Hi guys--<br />
<br />
I want to write a form, and I read info from the w3school's site, but i dont understand the submit coding. How does it work and what is the .asp attachment to their submit?<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated!<!--content-->ASP = Active Server Page<br />
Basically, to process any form, you'll need some sort of server side language (asp, php, cfm, perl, etc.) This is accessed based on the value of the action attribute in your form element<!--content-->Depends on what you want the form to do. Asp is a server side language and when you send the form to an .asp page the scripts will handle it, when you send it to the server thought the asp, the scripts can have it connect to a smtp (email) server, or add the values to a data base, and do other things. I use asp.net (*.aspx) myself, but you can also use php cgi jsp or cold fusion to handle your forms. What are you doing with this form and which of what I listed does your host support?<!--content-->it supports php, and i just want a script that will email me when someone submits the information.<!--content-->http://www.hotscripts.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=AND&query=form+mail&catid=2<!--content-->Originally posted by samij586 <br />
