OK, I am very, very, VERY green to all this HTML stuff, and I am trying to create my website (www.innisfailrentals.ca)...having said that I have a comment page on my website, and instead of it going to a saved file (which I FINALLY foud) I want it to go to my email address... here is the code i have now. I am using Microsoft Front Page

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="journal 1000, default">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default">
</head>

You will need to right click on the form in Frontpage and choose form properties. Now you should see a dialog box come up and in there you can enter your email address.

You must publish the website via http:// and do not use FTP. Your web hosting provider must support Frontpage Server Extensions as well.

Is the email address the one on your server? For example, your domain name is www.example.com and the email would be crbatexample.com. Some hosting companies do not allow you to send to email addresses off the server due to security / spamming reasons.

Hi there,

Corey is probably right, if it is the email address being the same as the one on the server then it would defiantly be worth changing it and many hosting companies will not allow you to send to email addresses off the server and you do not want to end up being picked up as spam.
