We have created a short HTML file that can be used by anyone at Lehigh
to allow those browsing their home page to send them mail. The HTML file
can be copied to your account and used with only one simple modification.
However, there are a couple of things that you should understand before
attempting to use the document in your own Home Page.
This document relies on a pearl script maintained on Lehigh's server that
expects some very specific input. In the document below, you can move the
fields around and add or delete text, but you must leave the field names
and types the same.
This example uses the e-mail address www@Lehigh.EDU. You must change
the value of the hidden field to your e-mail address.
One way to get a copy of the HTML file shown below and use it is to:
Save the document as mail-comments.html using the Save As feature
in your browser
Insert the document into a current HTML file, or specify
an anchor that links to it.
Note: there are two optional features of the Mail comments form.
You can request the responder's email address and phone number:
The correct field names are 'address' and 'phone'.
You can specify a URL to return to after submitting the form, with the
line:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="URL" VALUE="url"> where url is the URL you want to return to.
If you have comments on my Home Page, I would like to hear from
you. Type in your comments in the big box below and
click on the <i> Submit Comments</i> button at the bottom to
send your message.<p>
<Form METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://www.lehigh.edu/cgi-bin/comment-mail.pl">

Please enter your e-mail address: <input NAME="username"><P>
