Mail Form Script Instructions : :

Interlink Advantage has made it easy to create a simple mail-form, without the need for installing CGI scripts. To create a simple mail-form using our server script, simply follow the instructions below. You will need to email support@ilinkadv.com with your domain information so we can give you access to the script. You will not be able to send an email via this script to an address outside of our network. Example: you@yahoo.com will not work. This will ensure spammers cannot utilize the script.

Step 1 - Create a Form

Create a form using your HTML editor. For help in creating a form, refer to the documentation provided with your HTML editing software.
Add in appropriate form fields as desired.
Add in a Submit button.

Step 2 - Modify the Form Properties

View the HTML source of the Web page you are working on. Refer to your HTML editor's documentation for assistance on editing HTML code directly.
Locate the beginning form tag inside of the HTML source code.
It will look something like <form method="post" name="form1">
Type or paste the following HTML code into the form, replacing the beginning form tags as shown in 2 above. Make sure that the hidden fields <input type="hidden"... are included exactly as shown in the box below:

<form method="post" action="http://scripts.ilinkadv.com/mailformurl.cgi"> <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="someone@something.com"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Website Form Submission"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.test.com/response.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="sender" value="joe@test.com"> <input type="hidden" name="cc" value="lloyd@test.com">

Step 3 - Modify the Hidden Fields

Locate the 4 hidden form fields you typed or pasted in Step 2 above
Change the value (ie. value="someone@something.com" ) in the recipient field to the e-mail address where the form information is to be sent to. This must be to an email at your domain.
Change the value in the redirect field to the url of the page that the user is redirected to after pressing the submit button.
Change the value in the sender field to change the e-mail address that the information is sent from. The sender information will appear on the e-mail as the sender. Note, you may also create a text field on your form for the visitor to fill in his/her e-mail address instead of defining a static sender e-mail address.
If you wish to send a carbon copy of the form results to another recipient, change the value in the cc field to the e-mail address you wish it to be sent to. If you do not wish to send a carbon copy, simply delete this entire line of HTML.
If you wish to customize the subject line in the outgoing e-mail, change the value of the subject field to indicate the text you wish to display on the subject line of outgoing e-mail messages.
