ASP or ASP.NET?

Joe
Hello,

I have a dilema can anyone help me or point me in the direction to get my
form at this adress to submit using either of these languages?
http://immoralbalance.com/contact.htm
I am using FPSE now and all works well. But I wanted to use asp to send the
form fields.
I feel I have tried everything I can how can asp "pass" the information to
the server for proccesing?
FPSE just adds ---WEB BOT--- in the action=
PHP is a pain in the A** and Formail needs another program such as send
mail so...
I wanted to use something native to my server.
My OS is Server 2003 Enterprise and I have CDO installed and working.
anything would help right now?

Thank you
Joe

Hi,

1) Make action of the form go to an ASP page. e.g. gotform.asp
2) Write the page gotform.asp:
<%
Dim Sender
Sender = request.form("formfieldnameOfSender")
'etc

'then create CDO object. and send the mail.

%>

Good luck

Hello Leo,

Thanks for your reply
can you direct me in learning how to write the page?

I used CDO and it worked fine but I used a form that was creatd by another
person
It will send fine but you have to enter the "to" address

I neeed the form to send to an email adderss not have the client enter the
"to" address here is a sample page on another site of mine.

Thanks

You need to either learn how to program or hire a programmer. I don't know
any easy way to say it. Why do you think programmers get the big bucks? So,
at this point, I guess you should be asking yourself, do I want to spend the
big bucks or earn them?

Hello Kevin,

actually no you do not have to spend the big bucks just the big time to find
a way.
Here is the form code untouched
http://immoralbalance.com/FORMCODE1.htm
Here is the form slightly modified
http://immoralbalance.com/contact_copy(1).asp

the CDO stays the same
but the input HTML has to be correct.
the option field at this time does not work.

yet to figure this objMessage out.

Thanks very much hope to hear from you

> actually no you do not have to spend the big bucks just the big time to

I did say you have to EITHER spend the big bucks or earn them, Joe. I spent
years learning to program (and am still learning). That's what I call
earning. You can learn by trial and error, but that's going to take a good
bit longer. Still, it does qualify as learning, and as earning! On the other
hand, if I were you, and I wanted to learn, I would study the technology
first.

So, here's the issue: You can't write a program by finding something that
looks like what you want to do, copying and pasting code, and expect it to
magically work. Programming IS an exact (and I do mean exact) science. One
jot or tittle off and the thing doesn't run. Now, to start with, you're
asking an ASP question in an ASP.Net newsgroup.

Try the microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general newsgroup.
