Capture vistors emails

[john]

Hi,

Is there a way to capture the email address of visitors to the website other than when they place an order.

Thanks

Ok. Let me rephrase the question.

I've added a form with a text box and a submit button to my home page.

What scripting code do I now need so that I can receive users' email addresses when they press the submit button. ie can javascript be used? Sample code anyone?? What would you recommend?

I've also read that 'forms' need to be published with FrontPage so am I correct in assuming this won't work if I FTP the website using Ezimerchant upload??

Cheers

Hi
you will likely need a form to mail script installed on your server (or webhost may already have one installed)
I would contact them for advice and the syntax of the code required to pass the form to the processing script. This is something that cant be done with client side scripting such as JavaScript. This solution would send you an email with the details collected which you could then action as you see fit

bcarroll,

I previously spent a lot of time searching for the solution on the internet when it was sitting in a tutorial on my webhost's site. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. They provide the 'form to mail' script and I've implemented it live as of 5 minutes ago.

Best Regards
