Before you can have a form that works on your site, you must tell Excel.Net what the e-mail address of the person that will receive the form submissions. We need this address to setup this script to work for your site on our servers. If you do not send this address to us, your form will not work properly on your site, and will generate a permissions error. Please click here to add your Formmail recipient(s).

In the position where you want the form, you need to fill in the following information:

The following lines are absolutely necessary for this program to work:

<form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl">
 <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="your e-mail address@excel.net">
 </form>

The following lines are a few of the optional lines you can add to this form:

If you want a subject line in your form reply

If you want to chose the subject yourself:

 <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Your Subject">

If you want the page viewer to enter the subject:

 <input type="text" name="subject">

If you want the user to specify their e-mail address

<input type="text" name="email">

If you want the user to specify their real name

<input type="text" name="realname">

If you would like the user to enter comments in the form

<textarea name="comments"> </textarea>

An Example:

The Code:

<form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl">
 <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="webmaster@excel.net">
 <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Test FormMail">
 Real Name: <input type="text" name="realname" size=34><BR>
 E-Mail Address: <input type="text" name="email" size=30><BR>
 Comments:<BR>
 <textarea name="comments" rows="8" cols="39"></textarea><BR>
 <input type="submit"> <input type="reset">
 </form>

If this form was filled out, webmaster@excel.net would receive the following e-mail:
