I think the bits you are after are:

<input type=HIDDEN name="recipient" value="[email protected]">

<input type=HIDDEN name="subject" value="Registration Application">

<input type=HIDDEN name="email" value="[email protected]">

<input type=HIDDEN name="realname" value="Web Response">

<input type=HIDDEN name="redirect" value="http://home.clara.net/doczaf/givethanx1.htm">

<input type=HIDDEN name="from" value="Registration Page<[email protected]>">

<input type=HIDDEN name="missing_fields_redirect" value="http://home.clara.net/doczaf/regerror.htm">

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="required" VALUE="txtFirstName, txtLastName, txtPrefName, txtEMail">


And you can see it in action at:

thanx,
I read your full source code at your site but
these are only forms and not work alone.
as you know you used <action=/cgi-bin/formmail>
I want to have more info about this.I don't know anything about cgi
is formail is a script ? exe program ? or other ?

thank you for your help

Hi Toraj,

CGI is a script and i can't remember for sure but i think its written in a language called perl and basically its the glue that holds the internet together, i read that somewhere (everywhere more like)

I guess for what your asking you need vbscript or javascript
