In this lab, you will create a Form for your web site.

1. Create a feedback form. It should contain a submit button, and ask for
• The visitor's name
• The visitor's email address
• At least one drop down list or radio button group to make a selection.
• One or more check boxes.
2. Write Javascript to ensure that a name and email address were entered.
• If one or both were missing, write an error message to an alert box. The form should still be visible in the browser window

 

Sample Form Mail - CGI

In the action part of your form you can use thie address:

http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/cgi-bin/goetzmail.cgi

You must have an account on the attrium to use the CGI script. Also the receipent's email must be part of the ITS account. If you need to edit a .forward file with your alternative email to get mail mailed to yourself.

telnet to the atrium and then do:

pico .forward (notice there is a . before the f)

Type your email address

Press Ctrl-X to exit, Yes to save the buffer, then press enter to save the file.

If you use an alternative account, place at least your form.html file on acc6 to try using the cgi script.

Remember to look at the docs to see what's needed for Form Mail, or look at what I did.

If you need help, just ask.
