Go ahead! Insert your friends
email address to tell them about
this site.
How To:
This function will require two
pages - referit.asp and
referit2.asp.
Referit.asp:
1. Create the form above on a
new blank page and save it as
referit.asp.
2. Name the first box "SenderName".
3. Name the second box "Email".
4. Set the form action to
referit2.asp (right click in the
form, Form Properties, Send to
other, Options, Action box).
Referit2.asp:
On referit2.asp, we are going to
use an ASP mail component (for
more information on this
particular component, see
www.aspemail.com
or contact your web host). Here
is the code:
<%
Set Mail =
Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
Mail.Host = "smtp.myserver.com"
' Specify a valid SMTP server
Mail.From = "webmaster@myweb.com"
' Specify sender's address
Mail.FromName =
Request("SenderName") ' Specify
sender's name
Mail.AddAddress Request("email")
' Name is optional
Mail.AddReplyTo "webmaster@myweb.com"'
'Reply to Address
Mail.Subject =
Request("SenderName") & "
recommends this site!"
Mail.Body = "Hey, this is " &
Request("SenderName") & "!" &
Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _
"You have to check out this
site:" & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _
"http://www.FrontPageHowTo.com"
& Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _
"See ya!"
On Error Resume Next
Mail.Send
If Err <> 0 Then
Response.Write "Error
encountered: " & Err.Description
End If
%>
To insert this code, switch to
HTML view and then copy/paste
the code into the body of the of
the page (between the
<body></body> tags).
Note: You will want to first
paste this code into Notepad and
then copy paste it from there
into your page.
Note 2: Make sure you check with
your web host to find out what
if any mail components that have
installed on your web server. If
they have none, then you might
request that they install one.
The above code will only work
with the aspemail component
available from
www.aspemail.com.
There are several commercially
available mail components and
each has it's own requirements.
Luckily, the web sites for these
components usually give complete
code samples for you to use.
