Dreamweaver - enquiry form

[dodd_tim]

I've designed and made an enquiry form in Dreamweaver which works fine but...

...when its live I don't know where the information goes or how to get hold of it. When you click on the Submit button you get directed to a page saying:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /enquiry.htm.

Any ideas anyone?

The info goes to wherever you send it. In your "form" tag, what's the "action" set at? If this is "enquiry.htm" then that's where you're sending it and this latter page has to have code in it which can deal with the incoming info.

In an .asp page (I can't remember if it works in htm/html) you could have something like an input field in your form named "password" and then in the 2nd page have:
password = Request.form("password")
so that you can then use this variable and print it to screen, save it in a database, check it against a database entry etc.

Yes, a form has to be processed by a program or script on the target server. Normally on a static site (where you host pages but cannot host programs or script) it is not possible to pick up the information submitted in the form. However there are sites that pick up your form results and forward the them  to you in a email (you usually have to display adverts on your site for the privilage). If you do a google you should be able to find a site and instructions for doing this.
