The only form that comes with Actinic is the preconfigured one used in place of a mailto link. This is used for the customer to contact the site owner.

I think you are asking for a different form here to use for feedback.

You are correct this is not a feature of actinic, thus you need to find a form script that your host will allow you to use on their server. Hosts are becoming more fussy about the formmail scripts used as they can be abused to easily.

The example script you have posted is not a good one to use as it leaves the email address in the script for email harvesters to collect, sell and spam to.

Try going to http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/ and download the form script from there as this one holds your email in the cgi script thus securing it

1 & 1 have a formbuilder program in the control panel area that is quite good. I tend to use the software they provide whenever it meets the need, as they will provide support for those applications.

Thanks Jo and Bill,

I have managed to create the form in 1&1 and the link on my site now calls up their form - however, when it is "sent" i get the 1&1 control panel returned, but they are looking into it. Not sure if its my dreamweaver skills (or lack of) or their server problem.

Thanks very much for the steer so far

Cheers
