yes i can give you code to do this, but first you need to first make sure you host can support ASP. Next you need to tell me what you want to to with the information you are requesting from the user, do you want to send it in an email to somehwere? do you want to write it to a database? do you need to store it in a file? Is there any other processing required to the information before you send or write it?

Well that's pretty hard questions :confused: but can't it just be configered from front page ?

If not I want the feed back to be sent to an e-mail (and if possible saved to a file too) and I guess I can do the rest of the stuff....

Thanx a lot for ur help:)

hi,
ASP = Active Server Pages.

This is what is known as a server side language. Before you can use ASP for your website you need to make sure that your host support ASP. There would be no point me giving you any code until you are sure that you can use it for your site.

ok something like this would work, providing its is being hosted using windows 2000.

If the site is hosted on a pc using windows XP then the bottom bit of code would need to change. Please forgive me if there is a slight error in this page, i run windows XP corp edition and the code is different therefore i couldn't test it. It is better for me to give you the code for windows 2000 as that is the OS most web servers will use.

Anyway hope this answers your question.

Hello TheRuler,

You actually don't need to use any ASP or CGI code to do this in Front Page. If you are actually using a normal version of Front Page 2000 or 2002 (not the one that comes with Explorer), you can build forms normally. FP has a property window specially for forms where you can tell him what to do with the data, you can add an e-mail and even say in wich file you want it saved. The only thing that you need to have is that your hosting service has the frontpage extensions installed in the server, that's all. Try a company like netfirms that they support this and they are free.


Hope it helps.

Thanx a lot that helped but do 20m.com & 8m.com provide that service

Thanx again :)

I checked 20m.com and they don't offer you the frontpage extensions, they don't even offer you a good ftp option. But if you like this place, no problem.
8m.com was disabled.
