sleach Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I want to create a form that the end users can enter through a web interface, email back to me or others, and the recipient view the form exactly as the end user did. I have attempted this in Publisher w/o success. I can receive the data, but am unable to receive it in the form format. I want to know if anyone thinks that Frontpage can do this. Or even if Publisher can do it. Thanks!!
phkninja Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 to do this ypou must have a server side scripting language like php or vbscript (in the case pf asp pages) to process thr user submitted information, format it to look correctly and then email it in a method that it will look the same at the other end.When you procees the "reciept" you can have the information processed as a text only file (.txt) with no formats like bold or underlined, or you can have it processed as a html page and display images as well. But in either you must add the reciept to the email as an attachment.
tguy Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 FrontPage can definitely do it! I have used this feature in the past. I will look into my archives and see if I can find a sample for you and post a link to it.It should explain how to do it in the Help. If I remember correctly, you need to modify the Form Properties of the form you are working on. You would right click on the Submit button and choose Form Properties. From there, you can direct the output of the form as you desire.
