A script file
from my
hard drive
This option is for experienced web developers with
scripting expertise.
To set up a local script file:
1. With the Script file icon enabled, add a Form
name.
2. Navigate to your local script file, typically a .php,
.js, .cfm, .cgi, .pl, .dll, or .exe file with the
Browse... button.
3. Check Embed file to include the script within the
site. If unchecked, the script file will be
unconnected to the site (any updates to the script
will be invisible to the site).
4. Optionally, the Export Options... button lets you
define a web file name and folder for the script.
5. Choose a submission method, encoding type,
target window/frame, and Character set.
A remote
script
Use if your ISP will not allow you to run your own scripts
on your ISP web space. Instead, your ISP may supply a
basic script file that can be linked to from your web page.
Typically, the script will send the form data back to your
email address (already setup with your ISP).
To set up a remote script file:
1. With the Remote script icon enabled, add a
Form name.
2. Enter a URL pointing directly to a script file.
3. Choose a submission method, encoding type,
target window/frame, and Character set.
Serif Web
Not everyone will have access to or even want to operate
their own web server so, as an alternative to this, you can
use Serif Web Resources (see p. 167). This is a free web to
email gateway service which will transit valued form data
