You will have to set the CGI script up so that it will do both...

I'd suggest asking for help in the CGI forum... Also, you'll need to post the code that is currently in the script.

Dood

Firstly can I recommend that you read the guidelines of using the forum... you'll find that you will get a lot more help.

Try this:

<form action="http://websitesubmit.hypermart.net/free/submit.cgi" Method="post" name="emailform" onSubmit="return validateform( this.form )" >

form contents here

</form>

There is no script for this, they both work fine individualy, just not together.

You need to be a lot more clear about what you mean by "form to send data to a website".

Describe the situation

ok, I am using a form which allows people to submit their website to searchengines, the persons url and email is sent to a website that then puts them in the search engines, what I want to do is to add a name field and then have the name and email address enailedto me at the same time the site submission is happening. I am trying to use a form to do these 2 actions

<form

action="mailto:homebusinessresourcec

enter@dodo.com.au" Method=post

name="emailform" onSubmit="return

validateform( this.form )"

enctype="text/plain">


<action="http://websitesubmit.hyperm

art.net/free/submit.cgi"

method="POST"><input type="hidden"

name="action" value="submit"><input

type="hidden" name="thankyou"

value="yes">


I'm very new to this, so may not be explaining myself properly

a form can only ever have one action. so if you are going to point to a cgi script then this is where you need to send the email to yourself.

Submit this same question in the cgi forum.

Yes, you cannot have a form inside of another form.
