Using the FormMail Script

FormMail is a script (mini program) that allows you to collect information that has been entered in an HTML form on your Personal Web Page. To use it, you need to have some basic knowledge of web page creation, and following these steps:

  1. Set your HTML form's action URL to http://www.localnet.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl, with the method post.
    <form method="post" action="http://www.localnet.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl" name="myForm" />
  2. Place a hidden field with the name recipient, and setting the value to the address that you want the form results e-mailed to. (The recipient must be a localnet.com e-mail address)
    <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="username@localnet.com" />
  3. Add fields to the form to collect the information that you want.
