"Web Design - I need more help..."

Hi

Could someone help me with the following?

1. guestbook - how do I make one?

2. E-mail form - how do I set one up so visitors to my website can e-mail me from my website?

3. Make side column - How do I make a bar/column on the left handside like on UKgames.com?

4. Does anyone know of any good Javascript help websites where they have really good javascript codes to make the pages look better and add various functions/forms to my website?

Thanks if you can help.

I find the easiest way to do a form is to use PHP. Make the form using HTML containing the fields for the information you want: i.e. Name, Email, Comments etc. By using PHP instead of JavaScript for example, you stop that annoying little message saying, 'This form is about to be sent by email......'.

Set the form to method="POST" and action="mail.php".

The code below could be used as an example:

<-----code for 'feedback.htm'

Email Address:

<-----code for 'mail.php'
$to = "[email protected]";
$from_header = "$name";
$contents = "$Name: $name \n \n Email Address: $email";
$subject = "Feedback Form";

mail($to, $subject, $contents, $from_header);
header("Location: http://www.youraddress.com/redirect.htm");
?>

------------------------------------

The page 'redirect.htm' is the page that the user will be redirected to after submitting the form.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your help.

For the Guestbook, these are done using Scripts, like PHP or CGI, try looking through http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/ for a PHP version.

http://www.hotscripts.com/ do have scripts for things like CGI, Javascript too.

http://javascript.internet.com/

For a full email form, try and find a site called Matt's script archive. There will be one there for you.

Thanks again if you can help.

That's tougher. open the window with your stats on and press F11. It'll open in a new window so you can get the url. Then view the source from the SR page that has the link, find the link and get the code to make the popup from there. You might need a bit of java for the popup, so chech in SR's head tags.

Hope that helps.
