Sorry this message may be a bit long apologies!

We are dealing with an ISP who does not support CGI unless you pay more
money so we decided to use the Mailto command and after a struggle wrote a
script to tell the sender of the form that the message was sent to his
outbox.

<script langiage="javascript">
<!--
function warn ()
{
alert ("Your form has now been sent to the outbox of your default e-mail
client"
}
//----
</script>

We placed this is the head

In the body we put
action="mailto<img src=../images/dwzone/forum/icon_smile_kisses.gif border=0 align=middle>
method="post" onsubmit="javascript:warn()


Ok now we come to the problem if we use a submit button in dreamweaver it
works perfectly but we want to use a dreamwaver flash button so after
creating the button we right clicked, selected edit and in the link field
inputted javascript:document.forms[0].submit()

It doesn't work

it was suggested that I alert the message before calling submit but I seem to have done that already.

As a newbie I would appreciate any help

Cheers

To be blunt it must be a crap host you've got.

Do they support ASP?

I hadn't thought of ASP.

Just out of interest my ISP is BT who won't allow cgi unless extra dosh is paid for their web author package.

I've already decided that once BT in their efficiency turn on ADSL i shall be changing ASAP

thanks

Do you buy hosting from BT? Or just use the freespace that comes with an account?

I offer a personal hosting package (not for business use) for £50 a year, with ASP, CGI, & ODBC Support.

Telewest(Blueyonder) also do what BT are doing but it's just another way to rip you off <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi

Yes we do use the web site for business

We pay BT £10 per month for Internet access and we got free domain registration of oor chosen name and they host it for us.

It's all a bit difficult really but the fog is turning to mist so we'll get there in the end.

Problem is that our own domain name does look professional and even when we go ADSL (If BT ever get their act together ) it will still only cost us £29 inc access and hosting etc.

It's puzzling which way to go.

I'm tempted to shut the BT account and transfer the domain name and hosting elsewhere but as usual getting information out of BT and finding out how to transfer the domain name isn't easy.

Regards

Ian

All you need to do to get a domain transfered to another host, is ask BT to change the DNS Nameservers to that of the new host.

Your site will go down for a few days, and then it will be configured on a new ip address with the new host. Easy as that.

If your interested check out what i have to offer @
