1) Insert the following script between the
</HEAD> and <BODY> tags in the page.
2) Give your form a
name, f.e. myform. Place this in every field value
statement inside the script, like this
document.myform.Name.value
= ""; and
place it in the
document.myform.submit statement.
3) For
each field in your form (name, email, address, etc..) you must
have or add a
document.myform.FIELDNAME.value=""; statement.
The total number of fields MUST MATCH the number of document.myform.xxxx.value
statements in the script. If you get
errors, check this!!
4) Insert
the proper form action (change the URL to your form script) and
name the form as below. The name must match all the names in the
above mentioned statement inside the script. If you get
errors, check this!!
<form
method="POST" action="http://www.your_domainname.com/cgi-bin/your_mailform.pl"
name="myform">
<input type="Hidden" name="subject"
value="Comments on script">
<input
type="Hidden" name="send-to-email"
value="yourname@your_domain.com">
<input type="Hidden" name="redirect"
value="http://simplythebest.net/thanks.htm">
The input statements
differ depending on the form handler script you actually use on your
server. If your script allows a Redirect URL and you include
the statement, make sure you create a Thank you page.
5)
Insert the graphics for the buttons in the right place. In HTML,
add the <a
href="javascript:Submit();"> for
the Submit button graphic, and
<a href="javascript:Reset();"> for
the Reset button graphic as follows:
<a
href="javascript:Submit();">
<img src="images/submit.gif"
border="0" width="78"
height="22"></a>
<a HREF="javascript:Reset();"><img src="images/clear.gif"
border="0" width="78"
height="22"></a>
Don't forget to close the <a
href> statement with the </a>.
The blue colored code in bold can or should be modified
as is necessary. You can do a preliminary test by entering some
information and clicking on the CLEAR button. If it clears, it
means all is working fine.
Good luck with this great little
script to enhance the way your forms look. For CGI scripts that
handle forms, go to the SimplytheBest
CGI Scripts Library.
