I'm having a problem getting a new form to work. Here is the code, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

<form action="http://formmail.monstercommerce.com/cgi-bin/ntformmail/ntformmail.pl">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="myemail@mydomain.com">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Feedback from Website">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="redirect" VALUE="my redirect page.com">
<font color=333399 size=1>Product(s):<br>
<input type="text" name="Product" size="19">
<font color=333399 size=1>Email:<br>
<input type="text" name="Email" size="15">
<input TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Go"></form>

What exactly is it that isn't working for you?

kabert
it is not sending the email. I hit the "Go" button and it takes me to make success page, but no email is sent...

Is this all the code you have for the entire form?

Where is it on your page?

What type of page?

Do you have a link to the page so I can see the whole thing?

I found it on your contact page.

I'm not very good at this, but I'll see if I can find something.

Anybody else have any ideas?

It's on my homepage on the right side. "Request New Products"

Thanks.

I sent you a test email to see if it might be a problem with the email address.

How about changing the first line to this:


<form method="POST" name="Feedback Form" action="http://formmail.monstercommerce.com/cgi-bin/ntformmail/ntformmail.pl">

your first section neets to have a name and a method. AS in:

<form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp"
method="post">

the Name may be optional, but you have to have a method to get it to work.

Hope this helps.

Just tried that and it did not work...

I sent you an email again.

Did you set up a mailbox for this email address? productrequest@coastalbusiness.com

I know I ran into trouble with email in the beginning because I thought anything@mywebsite.com would work but it did not. I have to set up seperate boxes for each address. Though I think you can set up nobody@mywebsite.com and email that does not have a box should go there.

I don't have this line in my forms:

<input type="hidden" name="env_report" VALUE="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT">

Otherwise, from what I can see, it is the same as the forms I use. You do have to have the action part set to post:

<form method="POST" action="http://formmail.monstercommerce.com/cgi-bin/ntformmail/ntformmail.pl">

Can anyone give the total code for the form to be sent? With all the corrections in the right place?

I really think monstercommerce should have a place with this documented. I would not even have known about it except for these forums.
