FORM MAIL
Our Form Mail System allows data entered in your interactive forms to be emailed directly to
the Contact email address for your account. This is the address listed in the User Information section of your Site
Manager.
Setting up your forms to use Form Mail
You can set up your forms to use Form
Mail by logging into your Site Manager and clicking on the "Form
Mail" link. This will give you detailed instructions including a
quick example you can cut and paste into any of your web pages.

Required form fields
Your mail forms must start with the
following HTML code:
<form method=post action=
"https://accounts.budgethostingweb.com/cgi-bin/hosting/user_formmail.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="account" value="YourUsernameHere">
<input type="hidden" name="cata"
value="accounts">
Most problems with Form Mail are caused
by not including the 2 hidden fields in your code. Unfortunately, page
editor programs such as FrontPage sometimes delete these hidden fields
during some operations.

The following optional fields allow you
to control the output from your forms:
To show the sender's email
address in the "From" field of the message:
<input type="text" name="Email">
To customize the subject of
the Form Mail message:
<input type="hidden" name="subject"
value="Your Subject Here">
To customize the title of
the Standard Confirmation Page:
<input type="hidden" name="title"
value="Your Title Here">
To customize the text on the
Standard
Confirmation Page:
<input type="hidden" name="text" value="Your

To customize the return
button on the Standard Confirmation Page:

a generic response.

Setting up Frontpage
forms
We don't support Frontpage Extensions because we are a low cost service. To use forms with our system, you need to use our Form Mail system.
Frontpage forms require a few small modifications to get them working
with this system:
1. CHANGE THE <FORM> ACTION
<form method=post action=
"https://accounts.budgethostingweb.com/cgi-bin/hosting/user_formmail.cgi">
2. ADD TWO HIDDEN FIELDS
<input type="hidden" name="account" value="YourUsernameHere">
<input type="hidden" name="cata" value="accounts">
Remember to enter your Username in the first field above.
3. CHANGE YOUR SUBMIT BUTTON
<input type="submit">
Here is an example of a completed form:
<form method=post action=
"https://accounts.budgethostingweb.com/cgi-bin/hosting/user_formmail.cgi"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="account" value="YourUsernameHere"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="cata" value="accounts"><br>
Your Name: <input type="text" name="Your Name"><br>
Your Email Address: <input type="text" Name="Email Address"><br>
Comments:<br>
<textarea name="Comments" rows=10 cols=45></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit"></form>
