Mailform Example

The mailform library makes the creation of email forms simple and more powerful than the usual CGI implementation.

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.

heitml mail forms are more powerful and simpler to create:

• Creating the form is much simpler than using HTML-form and table tags explicitly. If you are not convinced, just view the source code .
• You can use the full power of heitml to format the email letter sent.
• If you wish users can get a cc on the email, can review the email or even edit it, before it is sent.
• If there was an error filling out the form, ... no problem the user is shown the form again, with the error marked; not just an error messages.
• The full power of heitml can be used for customization, e.g. send the email to different people depending on topic, etc.
