pre-populating an e-mail form

D

Dick Clark

Front Page 2003

I would like to create an e-mail message in which the (i) subject (ii)
message content, are prepopulated but the e-mail address is blank. This
e-mail would be used as a "check-it-out" message so visitors to my web site
could send an e-mail (with the subject line and message already filled out)
to interested colleagues telling them about the site. The e-mail would be
accessed by a hyperlink the same way the current "mail-to" link works, except
in my case the e-mail address is blank and everything else is filled in.

I have tried saving the e-mail message is a word document, web page, etc.
and using the mail/send to command to send it but this isn't what's needed.

Thanks for your help.

For a html form, in Design view, just fill in the default text in form >
field > properties with whatever content you like.
it will show up in the form field when you view the page.

However you can't use the Frontpage form handler since it is intended that
any data is emailed back to the user of the web account/host account - it
may not send email to an email address outside the domain the site is hosted
with.

You need an "email a friend" type script.
