Need Help with Web Form (URGENT)

**Rumble** · 10-08-09, 02:20 PM

I have a customer who has asked me to fix this web form on their website. I manage their server/network and general web page maintenance for them.

I don't have any experience with fillable web forms, but if anyone does if you could help me out I would really appreciate it. There are a bunch of blank radio buttons which shouldn't even be there, and the form doesnt actualy generate the email, just a blank email with the send to address in it.

I'm not getting paid to fix this for them, just helping them out. However, I would be grateful and I am sure I can find something like some schwag I got at a game trade show or something to give the person who can help me out. Either PM me or email me if you can help.

Did they do this using DreamWeaver? Or what?

I took a class 2 semesters ago dealing with web forms... so it's a bit rusty right now, I'd have to look at my notes when I get off of work.

On the submit button... It's like they entered in an e-mail address for the send... It should be linked up to a webserver to send the completed form to, not an e-mail.

Yea, if you don't know how it was built, (or atleast with what it was built with), it's kinda like digging through snow. Very slow and you probably wont find what you're looking for.

The send button looks like they're using the windows mail client to send an e-mail.

Edit : You have the code-behind for this webpage? Like, the code to see exactly what the submit button does?

Edit : <form action="mailto

aulrenfro@hotmail.com" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="form1">
That says to me, the submit button mails that person.. Is this supposed to be a survey or something? because I don't see anywhere that the info from those buttons is getting saved.

It was built with Dreamweaver CS3 and they wanted it to create an email that people could review then click send. I think that's why it opens your email client. I dunno.

Exactly that. If it was made using a Microsoft Office product I can help, but any others I probably couldn't. I had classes on this kind of stuff all through High School and got a Microsoft Office Specialist certification for Word.

The Submit button looks like what they were going for is that the form would open an email pointed towards their Email address and have all the info in the form in that, which really doesn't make sense, it should take that information and make an automatic email on its own end that sends to the appropriate people, not using your own computers email tools and your personal email to submit the form. Either that, or get saved in a database that gets checked up on a regular basis.

I have a copy of Dreamweaver, but like I said I don't know web forms.

I'm smart enough to ask for help when I am in over my head.

Dreamweaver CS3 is what we used as well when we dealt with web forms.

About the submit and email - I have to go back into my notes or into the CS lab here at TX State to fuck with it again. I forget the exact details.

We set it up to where you hit submit and it was sent off to a webserver, which then you could bring up and look at the completed web forms.
