Hi, I'm a newbie in web design. I have some qns regarding HTML form. I have problems routing the form to my client webhost email. I tried contacting the web server for the url link require for the routing but they told me I have to program it myself. And insist me using the help section which I'm totally in confusion. I'm not familiar with forms as I just know how to build it, well I'm more of layout designer than a web developer/programmer actually.

But the last time I did my form, I get the url link from my server, yahoo for the "action" part. Below is the example I have from my website: www.kimberlynq.com/con.html (which works fine)

<form id="Contact" name="contact_form" method="post" action="http://us.1.p4.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=kabex_kim&confirm=thku.html" onSubmit="return validate()">

I need to seek your professional advice whether such link must be provided by the server adminstrator or we can configure ourselves? If yes how do I go about doing it? sad.gif

Presently, my friend and I has tried a few codes but it couldn't work and I don't know any friend in web developing. This is the weblink I did the form, presently its in a mess. www.winestore.com.sg/contact2.html (the site that requires proper "action" scripting)

Yahoo! probably provided a form handling script for you, and that's why you got the URL. You can install your own script. That's the normal routine.

You can find pre-written scripts for example at http://hotscripts.com . Here's the PHP ones, http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_...orm_Processors/ . See corresponding categories for other languages.
