Have a couple of questions....

bensd · 23-04-2007, 11:22:43 AM

First let me tell you i am very new at this! I have the following questions:

1.
When using the following method:

Code:

<form action="form_action.asp" method="get">

Where does the information get sent? Is it possible this info can be directly emailed to me?*

*Without using the method below, where users have to use there email address to send the information

Code:

<form action=mailto:info@mywebsite.com method="post">

2.
My website appears different in different browsers*.

I have a horizontial navigation bar, which is made up of five buttons. In some web browsers the five buttons appear perfectly accross the screen, however in others the 1/5 of the webpage isn't visible and you have to use the scroll bar at the bottom.

I actually use IE on my home and work computer and in each browser it appears differently.

3.
I would like to have a footer, which is displayed autimatically at the bottom of every page, is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help

The information in the form is passed to form_action.asp , which is a server side script that then does something with the information. Exactly what depends on whats inside the script - if that script is setup to put it in an email the form data will be emailed

That could be a screen resolution issue or a few other things - hard to say for sure without looking at the site.

Depending how you have your site setup it could be doable by including either a set file or displaying a the output from a database.

It is often better to have headers / footers as static elements that are included - therefore a sitewide change is much easier.

The ideal situation is to have headers and footers and all styling coded in CSS itself

Cheers,
Rob.
