Email
forms allow the visitor to a web site to fill data into a
form, which can then be sent to a particular email address.
Generally, a form works by means of what is called a "CGI
script". For the new user, designing a CGI script can be quite
difficult. It is best for such users to find scripts that
already exist.
There
are two different CGI scripts on our system which enable the
implementation of email forms. The names of these two scripts
are cgiemail and webform.cgi. You will find more information
on each of these below, along with links to the respective
tutorials.
CGI
Email
Setting up a form using cgiemail is slightly more complex
than doing so using webform.cgi. The advantage that cgiemail
has over webform.cgi is that you can control the format of
the email message sent to you.
The
process involves inserting HTML code into the page with the
form on it, as well as designing a text template for the email
message. Please click here for the cgiemail
tutorial itself.
Webform.cgi
Setting up a form using webform.cgi is easier than doing so
using cgiemail because webform.cgi does not require you to
design a text template. Please click here for the webform.cgi
tutorial itself.

FrontPage97 users should use cgiemail.

FrontPage98 users may wish to use a FrontPage-based form instead.
For more info, click on the word, "Help" on the menubar of
FrontPage Editor. Then select "Microsoft FrontPage Help".
Click on the "Index" tab. In the box, type "form". You will
