For any one person to create a web site and then think it is perfect, is ridiculous. It is important to allow the visitors of our web sites to comment on what we have developed so that we can learn from the end- user, our mistakes and not to mention the overall effectiveness. We create these facilities for web sites so why not create them for our WAP sites.
A feedback form is developed by first creating the form, in this case to capture the end-user's comments, and second to create the SendMail code, which will be used to send the comments via e-mail to us. As always if you have any other PRoblems with asp/WML then you can e-mail me at michael_wright@lineone.net. Also if you are a company supervisor, manager or director I am always looking for work, whether it be working remotely or on-location. Please feel free to e-mail the same address.
First we create the feedback form itself. Please remember to change the red capital letters within the code.
<p align="left"><small><a href="LOCATION OF YOUR MAIN WAP PAGE">Back</a></small></p>
</card>
</wml>
Now save that code as a file called feedback.asp. Then we must create the SendMail code. This SendMail code can only be used if you have the ASPMail component installed on your web server. It is possible to simply change the ASP code in conjunction with your own component e.g. CDONTS.
Response.Write "<p><small>Mail has been sent...</small></p>"
else
Response.Write "<p><small>Mail send failure. Error was " & Mailer.Response &"</small></p>"
end if
%>
<p align="left"><small><a href="LOCATION OF YOUR MAIN WAP PAGE">Back to Menu</a></small></p>
</card>
</wml>
Now save that code as a file called email.asp and you are ready to test it. I hope you found this article helpful. One of the main problems I had when creating this code was the way in which the WAP input is recognised by the ASP code i.e. You must either use Request.Form("txtFrom") or Request.QueryString ("txtFrom") and not just Request("txtForm").
