this is probally really easy for someone whos has intermediate knowledge of asp, but for someone who doesn't, it looks like im reading Greek. lol

Needed a script for an email form.
A friend of my mine referred me to aspin.com to download a script. It has 3 files:

contact.asp (a simple form)
contact2.asp (main code?)
thanks.asp (validation page)

i dont need the form created, i have already done so in dw. All i need now is to link the "submit" button to contact2.asp right? tried linking it like a url to see if it would at least try and process the code, but that doesnt want to work. I still havent changed anything in the contact2 file. I have no clue how. heres the code.. what would i modify and how would link the submit button to it? if not thats ok too.

<%

name = request.form("name")
email = request.form("email")
message = request.form("message")

If name="" or email="" or message="" Then
url = "contact.asp?reqd=* indicates required field&name=" & name & "&email=" & email & "&message=" & message
If name="" Then
url = url & "&mname=*"
End if

If email="" Then
url = url & "&memail=*"
End if

If message="" Then
url = url & "&mmessage=*"
End if


response.redirect url & "&foobar=foobar#form"
response.end
End if


Dim objCDONTS ' Email object
Dim strFromName ' From persons' real name
Dim strFromEmail, strToEmail ' Email addresses
Dim strSubject, strBody ' Message
Dim misccompo


strSubject = "ENTER YOUR SUBJECT HERE"
strFromName = Trim(Request.Form("name"))
strFromEmail = Trim(Request.Form("email"))
strToEmail = "ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE"
strBody = Trim(Request.Form("message"))

Set objCDONTS = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDONTS.From = strFromName & " <" & strFromEmail & ">"
objCDONTS.To = strToEmail
objCDONTS.Subject = strSubject
objCDONTS.Body = "--------------------------------------" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & strbody & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "--------------------------------------------------------------" & vbcrlf & "MESSAGE ENDS: End of message"
objCDONTS.Send
Set objCDONTS = Nothing

response.redirect "thanks.asp"
response.end
%>


i see 2 spots that tell me to enter an email and a subject... but what else would i have to modify? I realize that this might sound like too much, so in that event could u kindly link me to a good newbie tut site where i could learn for myself what the bits of this code mean? One more question i have. my original html form consists of more text fields then the contact.asp does. Do i also have to modify contact2 to accomodate those extra fields?

i am not your **************** bitch.. please put down those stockings.

Hi there,

Can you get the script to work as it is now (including the form thar came with it)? If I were you, I'd get that to work first before you start making changes. That way, you can check whether your setup supports sending e-mail.

You can also take a look at this article: http://Imar.Spaanjaars.Com/QuickDocID.aspx?QUICKDOC=249

It explains how to send e-mail from ASP pages, and the code in the first part looks pretty much like the code you have posted now.

HtH and if not, let me know....
