Sending Form Values to an email
Copy the 2 pages below and paste them into the same folder and then
run form.html on your webserver (this won't work on your personal webserver,
must be an internet server and support the CDONTS mail object).
If you
fill in the text boxes on the form.html page and click submit then the
values entered will be sent to form_ac.asp. Form_ac.asp will be the
page that will receive and process the values entered into the text
boxes.
In our example once the variables have been received by form_ac.asp
an email will then be sent which holds the variables. The comments in
the pages should explain the code.
Call this page form.html
<html>
<head>
<title>form to email script</title>

<body>
<div align="center">
<form method="POST" action="form_ac.asp" name="form1">
