The mailform library makes the creation of email forms simple and more
powerful than the usual CGI implementation. ‹p›
Mailforms are the simplest CGI application and used extremely often. A mail
form is displayed on the screen, e.g. as a reply, request, or order form.
The user can fill out the form and the filled out content is sent
to somebody by email. ‹p›
‹mheitml› mail forms are more powerful and simpler to create:
‹ul›
‹li› Creating the form is much simpler than using HTML-form and table
tags explicitly. If you are not convinced, just view the
‹sa href="emailex.hei" urlpar="$debug=pp"› source code ‹/sa›.
‹li› You can use the full power of ‹mheitml› to format the email letter
‹li› If you wish users can get a cc on the email, can review the email
or even edit it, before it is sent.
‹li› If there was an error filling out the form, ...
no problem the user is shown the form again, with the error marked;
‹li› The full power of ‹mheitml› can be used for customization, e.g. send the
email to different people depending on topic, etc.
‹p›
// Specify which fields have to be filled out
‹mailrequire "Email"› ‹mailrequire "Name"›
// This is the mailform shown on the screen
‹mailform labelformat="<b>"›
How do you like ‹mheitml› ?
// With mailtable fields get lined up nicely in a table
‹mailfield "FirstName" 20›
‹mailfield "Name" 20›
‹mailfield "Email" 20›
‹mailtextarea "Comment"›
// buttons can be placed anywhere in the mailform
‹p›
Do you want to receive a copy of the email ? ‹mailccUserCheckBox checked=true› ‹p›
‹mailbutton› ‹mailbuttonpreview› ‹mailbuttonedit›
// mailbuttonpreview shows the user a preview of the email being sent
// mailbuttonedit shows the user an edit window to edit the email
// This is text which is prepared and sent to email address specified
// With <? ff.First> a form field can be inserted in the text
‹mailtext to="heitml@h-e-i.de" allowedit=true allowpreview=true
‹mailhead› // This will put a head into the email containing the date
‹mailIntoUserMail› // The inner of this will be send to the user as his copy
