Sending a simple Email

Hi! I'm newbie with ASP and I have a simple task to do. I should send email using IIS.
So I created html-file, which calls asp.page:

The asp-page is another simple example, test.asp:

When I open the html-file and press the submit button, all I see is the code inside the asp-file. So obviously this doesn't work. Any ideas what might be wrong?
I've added smtp-service to IIS and configured it to use smart host.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi migi,

Are you running this website through the IIS? If not your ASP page will just be rendered as html which sounds like the case here.

If you need help setting up your website in IIS then let me know.

Yes, we have IIS. But if you could guide me to use those two files, it would be great.

re: Sending a simple Email

Set up a virtual directory under the default website in the IIS, giving it a name and pointing it to the folder where your two files are. You should then be able to view them by browsing

//<servername>/<virtualdirectory>/<pagename>

So if you set up a virtual directory called Test on your local machine the URL would be

//127.0.0.1/Test/test.html

Submitting the form should now load the ASP page through the IIS correctly. Does this make sense? Let me know how it goes.

Actually your code is perfect

But it will not execute on localhost

after you host it on your web in any server

it will work fine..

try CDONTS.NewMail

Thank you

JRK,

Why won't it work on localhost? As long as the script is configured to use the default smtp service correctly it should work fine.

And why would use use CDONTS? CDONTS is a deprecated mail object and you should use CDOSYS nowadays.
