Send forms with asp

[mannyrdi]

How do you setup a form with asp/iis instead of gemstream?

It's a relatively simple process if you find a script online and customize it to your needs. But then again, more detail would be needed for a specific answer. What sort of form? An e-mail form? A form that posts to a database? What version of ASP? Or are you using ASP.NET? What version of IIS?

1. Email form
2. IIS that comes with Windows 2000 Server
3. Not ASP.NET, just regular asp.

It's been years and years since I've dealt with regular ASP as it's been phased out since the turn of the century... :) I'd suggest Googling for some scripts and modifying them to fit your needs. The process isn't hard for an e-mail form.

[mannyrdi]

the script itself is not the problem. On the form in the "Action" section, do I put the asp file...for example: "Action:sendform.asp"? And on the IIS, do I drop the sendform.asp on the same directory as the contact.html page?

Oh, that's just HTML calling the ASP script. So you'd do something like:

<form method="post" action="LinkToYourASPFile">
Your form here
</form>


Where you put the actual ASP file doesn't matter in relationship to the HTML page - just make sure the action links to it properly.
