Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I had an HTML web form posted and it was working fine. Then they changed the filters in the email server to block anything that doesn't have a "From" email address.
I'm using Dreamweaver 8. How do I make one of the fields in my form enter as the "From" address so I can get the mail through the spam filters? I'm sure it just has something to do with the code, but being a newbie with forms any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Erin

Well I use ASP to post messages. What I do is create a CDO object here's the code for that.
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<% Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message") myMail.Subject="Your Subject" myMail.From="someone@somedomain.com" myMail.To="you@yourdomain.com" myMail.TextBody="Here goes the text" myMail.Send %>

Well, sorry for that, won't do that next time. Infact this is due to firefox, tabbed browsing, you open a large number of forums and when you read threads and reply u write something else. Again I apologize. I would start dreamweaver the moment I reach home and give appropriate answer.

If you're only using HTML and JavaScript, then you aren't doing things in a standard way. The methods that do work (such as setting the action tag of your form to "mailto:") are highly dependent on specific browsers, operating systems, and email clients. If you've jury-rigged something together that works, more power to you, but it's going to be extremely hard for anyone else to test or help.
Typically, form results are delivered to a web server application via a POST. The application process the results and performs any variety of actions, including sending the results via SMTP to an email address. Thus the assumption and repeated question of "which server-side language are you using?".
Again, there isn't any standardized "client-only" method of emailing form results.
