TD Form Mailer

Note: As of February 28, 2007 the TD Form Mailer script is no longer being developmed and has been retired.

Allow people visiting your site to send you or others email from a web-based form. Send TDavid a note the easy way and at the same time you can demo TD Form-Mailer 1.0. You can also send email to friends with this handy freeware form-mailer. Just set the FORM tags as follows inside any webpage in HTML:

FORM ACTION = all forms start with this tag
         Example:    <form action="/cgi-bin/tdformmailer.cgi" method="POST">    <-- call from same domain (relative)
         Example:    <form action="http://www.anydomain.com/cgi-bin/tdformmailer.cgi" method="POST">  <- call outside script domain (there is a built-in security setting in the script to prevent offsite use if you don't want it)

to = this is who you are sending the email to, if it is left blank the script will send to a default address you define inside the configuration section, this is a great way to keep your email safe from email harvestering bots since it will show up nowhere on the page or in the source (try to find my email address by doing a view source right now... cool, huh?)
       Example: <input type="text" name ="to">

from = this is who the email is coming from, the script will check for email syntax and present the user with an error if it isn't in the proper syntax
       Example:  <input type="text" name ="from">

subject = the subject of the email
       Example:  <input type="text" name ="subject">

dropdownmenu = dropdownmenu is optional
      Example:  <select name="dropdownmenu" size="1">
                         <option value="choice1">choice1</option></select>

contents = the body of the message
       Example:   <textarea name="contents" rows="5" cols="64"></textarea>

submit = You need a submit button to actually submit the contents of a form
       Example:  <input type="submitt" value ="Submit">

closing FORM tag = don't forget your closing form tag. I've been there and done that  :-)
       Example:   </form>

     *Freeware Version  - You make the form in any HTML document and call tdformmailer.cgi
                                          using the FORM ACTION tag. You can control whether you want results
                                          mailed to you, or to provide your surfers a convenient way to mail
                                          others. Checks email syntax as well as provides a handy security
                                           setting to allow onsite use only or universal calling from any website
