Re: [cobalt-users] newbie to CGI + sendmail.

Maybe I`m missing something but....

I`ve just had a look at the source of your webpage and you seem to have the
form action pointing to an E-mail address rather than the script  you are
trying to call   .. ie mailer.pl

I would have expected to see something along the lines of
"/cgi-bin/mailer.pl"  where you currently have the E-mail address.... ie it is
an HTML error on your page.

You have:  <FORM METHOD = "POST" ACTION =
"mailto:tasteful@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";>
Sugest this: <FORM METHOD = "POST" ACTION = "/cgi-bin/mailer.pl">

or whatever the path to your script is.


Cheers

Dave
