Email Form

Want an easy way to create a form that will email its information to you? We've done just that for you. With a few simple steps, you'll be up and collecting information in no time. (And the best part is, you don't have to use FrontPage!)

1. Create your form.
   
   
2. Add a hidden field called MailTo with it's value set to the email address you want the form mailed to. For example:
   
   <input type="hidden" name="MailTo" value="webmaster@juniata.edu">
   
   
3. Add a hidden field called ReturnTo with it's value set to the location you would like the user to go after submitting the form. For example:
   
   <input type="hidden" name="ReturnTo" value="http://services.juniata.edu/webdev">
   
   
4. Set the action to "http://services.juniata.edu/webdev/mail.html" in your form tag. For example:
   
   <form name="form1" method="post" action="http://services.juniata.edu/webdev/mail.html">
   
   
5. Test it out.

I'm not always the best at explaining, so if you would rather see an example of the form, click here. If you have any problems, let us know by emailing webmaster@juniata.edu or using the example email form.
