the GenB mail module enables html pages to be sent by mail in reply to the input of data from an html form..

the mail module can be used, for example, for:
• contact forms.
• information request forms.
• send this page to a friend.
• send this postcard to a friend.
• recommend this site.
• ...

the mail module facilitates channeling information from an html form to the receiver by e-mail (e.g., webmaster) and/or the sender himself.

apart from sending the information by e-mail, the mail module facilitates the composition of a page for replying to form data "submitted".

the mail module tools provided by the Dreamweaver® GenB Extensions enable completely graphic:
• creation of submit reply pages reusing all the data sent by the user.
• prepare e-mail messages in totally graphic html format (the same way the html page is designed and set up with Dreamweaver®)
• generate different answer messages for the sender (if the sender gives his/her e-mail address and receiver/s (webmaster/manager/...)
• channel e-mail messages through the "SMTP" mail manager of your own server assuring and controlling correct mailing of messages.

NOTE: steps in creating a submit form do not require GenB extensions. The form is constructed using the "forms" objects provided directly by Dreamweaver®.

0.0.- in Dreamweaver® open an "html"-type page (or PHP GenB if combined with the use of other GenB modules) and go to the Dreamweaver® "Forms" objects palette.
1.0.- click on item: "Form" to delimit the space for the form

1.1.- indicate in the "inspector" window of the "form" object inserted the destination or "Action" page to which the user will go after clicking on the submit button. Choose a name or file with a ".php" extension since the results page requires it to be PHP GenB.

2.0.- insert the various data input fields. All the fields have a common format and can be entered with the help of the object "Forms" palette provided by Dreamweaver®.

NOTE: for each input field you must provide an easy-to-remember "name" (field name) in order to set up the information sent on the answer pages and send it by e-mail.

NOTE: if you wish to send a confirmation e-mail, you must have a text input field ready where the attribute "name" (field name) must be exactly "Email".

3.0.- insert a "submit" button to send the form with.


when the send data form is finished, the next step is to construct the reply page where you can show the information sent and the necessary parameters for sending notifications by e-mail are provided.
