Web Forms

Web forms provide you with a more structured - and therefore cleaner and more complete - way to obtain information from visitors.

IIC's form processing CGI script comes pre-installed and allows you to use submittable forms on your site, for use on everything from inquiries, to comments, to order requests for your web site!

TIP: Don't forget on your forms to ask your visitors where they heard about you, and if they would like to be on your email list!

No programming required. Simply specify the email address of the recipient and the email subject line in the HTML as hidden form fields, and the form results will be emailed to you. It's that easy! See below for an example:

<form action="/cgi-bin/fmail.pl" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="help@mycompany.com">
<input type="hidden"
name="subject" value="Customer Information">
<input type="hidden" name="thankurl"
value="https://secure.mycompany.com/hello.html">
