This FAQ relates to the downloadable Easy Internet WYSIWYG Web Builder available from http://www.easyinternetsolutions.co.uk/wsb

1. Open the Website Builder and create/open your page


2. Click on the "Insert" menu and select Form->Form Area


3. Place the "form block" (labelled "Form layout") somewhere on your web page.


4. Double click on the "form block" and set the following data:
   
   • Form name: This can be anything you like
   
   
   • Action: /cgi-sys/formmail.pl
   
   
   • Method: POST
   
   
   • Encoding type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
   
   


5. In the "Hidden Fields" section at the bottom, click "Add.." and add the following hidden fields:
   
   • Name: recipient
     Value: Your email address (such as me@example.com)
     Note: This HAS to be an email address at your domain name - therefore, if your domain name is example.com, the email address HAS to end @example.com . Please ensure you have setup this email address as a "POP3 Email Account" or "Email Forwarder" in your cPanel control panel.
   
   
   • Name: subject
     Value: The subject line you want to appear in the emails you receive from the form
   
   
   • Name: redirect
     Value: The full URL of a page you want people to go to once they have clicked on the submit button on your site.
     For example, if your domain name is example.com and you have created a page called thankyou , you will need to enter http://www.example.com/thankyou.html (i.e. adding the http://www. , then your domain name, a forward slash and then the name of the thank you page and then .html)
   
   


6. Click "OK"


7. Add the various "form elements" via Insert->Form (making sure they appear on the "form block")


8. Save and publish your site
