Formmail Question

[Deepster]

Hi all,

Newbie question about formmail program here... I want to use formmail
on my contact us form, which has all the normal fields, name, address
and things like that. I want to check that the names and emails fields
are properly filled out when they click submit. I have the functions
working but how can I run both the functions and process the form when
the users click on submit button?

I am thinking, can I call formmail from inside the function instead of
the action?

Thanks
Deep

That's a JavaScript question, not a Perl question. The answer would be the
same, regardless of what CGI is on the other end, or what language that CGI
happened to be written in.

Additionally, if you're using Matt Wright's formmail - don't. It has too
many bugs and security vulnerabilities to mention. Use the free nms (Not
Matt's Scripts) replacement instead:

<http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net>

I want to use formmail

No you don't.



Crackers cruise the web looking for sites that use Matt's scripts
so they can exploit any of several security holes.

If you still *want* that, then you must be a real thrill seeker,
consider taking up skydiving instead.

Thanks for the update guys, Yes I was wanting to use Matt's form
script. I dont think I want to go take up skydiving just yet so I will
stick with nms...

Thanks again
