The last step involves telling the form handler (cgi script) what to do with the data entered into the form by the
Internet user. This process involves using "hidden fields". Again, you'll need to "right-mouse-click" on any form
field (text box, radio button, etc.)and choose "Form Properties". You will be brought to this screen:
In the bottom half of the box, under "Hidden Fields", click on "Add". You will be brought to the following screen:
Enter the following in "Name:" recipient
Enter the following in "Value:" your_address@yourname.com (click OK)You will need to repeat this step at least two more times. After to tell the form what should appear in the subject
line of the mail coming to you, and after to tell the form which page to display after the Internet user clicks the
"Submit" button. The format should be as follows:
Enter the following in "Name:" subject
Enter the following in "Value:" Some_Subject (click OK)
Enter the following in "Name:" redirect
Enter the following in "Value:" http://www.yourname.com/thanks.htm (click OK)
There are also advanced features such as "Sort" and "Required". Sort will tell the form in which order you would
like the data returned to you via e-mail. Required will check to make sure that any fields that you define are
completed or it will not process the form. The Internet user will be told that the form could not be processed
because there was not complete data.
These hidden fields should be completed like the following:
Enter the following in "Name:" sort
Enter the following in "Value:" order:field1,field2,etc. (click OK)
Enter the following in "Name:" required
Enter the following in "Value:" field1,field2,etc. (click OK)
Now, click SAVE and test your form!
