With special thanks to Dan Graf, dgraf@midcoast.com,
we have a simple, easy to use CGI program to allow people who visit
a webpage to fill out a form and send the owner or author comments.
Works pretty nice.
Important Files:
- http://www.midcoast.com/cgi-bin/form2mail.cgi
- postdone.html - This is a simple webpage file you create
and put in your public_html directory thanking the person for filling
out the form and acknowledging that the form was sent.
- This document. You can copy the stuff from the example below
into the webpage you want to put the form into. Thing in bold are
comments and it wont matter if you copy them in or not.
