Examples

 

The following examples are pairs of HTML form / sgml config files. I would personally name the sgml files as *.sgml, but here I've used the *.txt extension so that they will display on your web browser more easily. They work with any extension.

 
   
 
     
Example 0 -- Minimal Configuration
  example0.html -- example0.txt This demonstrates the miminal configuration.  
     
Example 1 -- Server-Side Validation
  example1.html -- example1.txt This demonstrates server-side input validation.  
     
Example 2 -- Conditional HTML Responses
  example2.html -- example2.txt This demonstrates conditional evaluation of HTML responses.  
     
Example 3 -- Mail Addressing
  example3.html -- example3.txt This demonstrates mail addressing and formats.  
     
Example 4 -- URL Redirection
  example4.html -- example4.txt This demonstrates url redirection.  
     
Example 5 -- Debugging
  example5.html -- example5.txt This demonstrates the debug attribute, in case FormMail isn't doing what you think it should.  
     
Example 6 -- Conditional Validation
  example6.html -- example6.txt This demonstrates conditional validation.  
     
Example 7 -- Advanced Formatting
  example7.html -- example7.txt This demonstrates use of the <format> tag. It also used the DEBUG attribute, to make it easier to see how the reformatting works, and uses the <validate> tag to check the values after reformatting.  
     
Example 8 -- Subscribe to a Listserv List
  example8.html -- example8.txt This form is set to let you fill in your email address and name, and then subscribes you to a listserv list. Not much simpler than sending mail, but if you really want to do this from a web form, you can.  
     
Example 9 -- Write Info to a Disk File
  example9.html -- example9.txt Appends some info to a file. Note this cannot be a live demo, but you can examine the config file to see how it is done.  
     
Example 10 -- Use Bluestem, and Write Info to a Disk File
  example10.html -- example10.txt Force use of bluestem authentication, then append some info to a file. Note this cannot be a live demo, but you can examine the config file to see how it is done.

Let me know what you think. If you haven't tried it, example3 above is a real-live send-me-your-opinion form. Not only can you use it as an example, you can use it!
