asp Formmail script not working

VBSformmailglitch · #1 (**permalink**) 09-21-05, 12:55 PM

Calling all VBScript-ers,

I am trying to use a formmail script to process a form on my website. I got the script from http://www.brainjar.com/asp/formmail/default2.asp and I thought I had replaced the necessary variables to make it work. I uploaded the form "emailform.htm" to my site, made a folder named "scripts" and put the formmail.asp file there, but when I press the submit button in the form, I get the following:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'

Expected statement

/scripts/formmail.asp, line 15
\
^

{my browser reads: http://www.strykerart.com/scripts/formmail.asp}

I assume I have made a mistake with line 15, the form action part?
Here's the form code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>

</head>

<body>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:70px; top:108px; width:548px; height:396px; z-index:1">
<p>If you would like to be informed about new art and exhibitions, receive our annual catalogue, or leave a message, email us using the form below. All information will be reserved for strykerart use only. </p>
<form action="/scripts/formmail.asp" method="post">
</p>
<input name="_recipients" type="hidden" value="sally@strykerart.com">
<input name="_redirect" type="hidden" value="thankyou.htm">
<input name="_replyToField" type="hidden" value="email">
<input name="_subject" type="hidden" value="site feedback">
<input name="_requiredFields" type="hidden" value="firstname, lastname, email">
<input name="_fieldOrder" type="hidden" value="firstname, lastname, city, state, zip, email, figure, water, florals, upcoming, message">
<input name="_envars" type="hidden" value="HTTP_REFERRER,

I have googled this error number, but have not found an answer yet. If anyone could help me with this, I would be so grateful! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Sally

the form action is correct, assuming the file you want to post to is there. the error is on the formmail.asp page. if you could post line 15 from there can probaly help you out more.

The Form Method should be "GET" I think.

What kind of mailing script are you using. CDONTS, CDOSYS, JMAIL or ASPMAIL?? Are you also working with a database?

Here is a CDONTS sample with a few options:

Your mail form page, I called it MyMail.asp

HTML Code:

<form action="cdonts_form.asp" method="post" name="MyForm" id="MyForm">
<table width="500" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="135"><strong>First Name</strong></td>
<td width="348"><input name="firstname" type="text" id="firstname" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Last Name </strong></td>
<td><input name="lastname" type="text" id="lastname" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Email Address </strong></td>
<td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Sex</strong></td>
<td>Male 
<input name="sex" type="radio" value="Male" checked> 
| Female 
<input name="sex" type="radio" value="Female"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Colours Required </strong></td>
<td>Red 
<input name="colour1" type="checkbox" id="colour1" value="Red">
| Blue 
<input name="colour2" type="checkbox" id="colour2" value="Blue "> 
| Green 
<input name="colour3" type="checkbox" id="colour3" value="Green"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Comments</strong></td>
<td><textarea name="comments" cols="28" rows="6" wrap="VIRTUAL" id="comments"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

and the ASP mail script, I called it cdonts_form.asp:

ASP Code:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
'First lets Dim all the variables we need
Dim MyMail
Dim MyBody
Dim MyEmail
Dim MyFirstname 
Dim MyLastname
Dim MySex
Dim MyColour1
Dim MyColour2
Dim MyColour3
Dim MyComments
'Now lets get some values for the variables from the form
MyEmail = Request.Form("email")
MyFirstname = Request.Form("firstname")
MyLastname = Request.Form("lastname")
MySex = Request.Form("sex")
MyColour1 = Request.Form("colour1")
MyColour2 = Request.Form("colour2")
MyColour3 = Request.Form("colour3")
MyComments = Request.Form("comments")
 
'Now lets build the body of the email from the data in the form
MyBody = "First Name: "& MyFirstName & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Last Name: "& MyLastName & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Email: "& MyEmail & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Sex: "& MySex & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Colour 1: "& MyColour1 & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Colour 2: "& MyColour2 & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Colour 3: "& MyColour3 & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & "Comments:" & vbcrlf
MyBody = MyBody & MyComments
'Now lets put the variables and other information we need into the mailing script
Set MyMail = Server.CreateObject ("CDONTS.NewMail")
MyMail.From = MyEmail
MyMail.To = "You@YourEmailAddress.co.uk"
MyMail.Subject = "Test email using CDONTS"
MyMail.Body = MyBody
MyMail.Send
set MyMail=nothing
Response.Write("Your e-mail has been sent")
%>
