You may want to consider adding a subject line option list. Irregardless of the website visitors may have easily categorized reasons for contacting the website. As a simple example: • General Questions • About Your Products • Pre-Order Inquiry • Post Order Inquire • Consumer Story • Other Feedback Naturally no two websites are the same but this gives a feel of what I am thinking about. |

Good idea! Or maybe allow the option of creating your own fields....

Most contact forms have the subject added as a hidden name like this… <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Website Contact Form" /> Even more important to me is the ability to return the visitor to a specific page of the site after the form has been submitted. This is achieved using the "good_url" name for the hidden input type and helps to keep visitors on the website. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

That ought to be added to the preferences of the contact form too, (Personally) I have a problem with invisible or concealed subject lines as one presumes that one subject does every thing. If I have a personal website and i have say ... 10 d9fferent directions (Health, Food, Gardening, Gaming, Searching for Lost Friends, etc) of subjects I would personally want to prioritize the incoming e-mail and then systematically go through them so that I can focus on one subject at ta time. As far I can tell the ONLY way to do this is by having different subject headers offered on the sent e-mails. Am I way off on this?? Peter Kelley St, Paul, MN USA |

Hidden means that it is not visible on the actual form. The content can be anything you want. It is an input type just like the ones for name, email etc. and can be set in the form code. In a widget, it would just require an extra field for the EverWeb user to enter their email subject of choice but it would not be visible to the visitor. The same would apply to the "good_url". The contact form on the EverWeb Godebox and Widgetbox sites have both of the above so that I know where the contact comes from and so that I can send the visitor back to a particular page rather than to an insipid "thank you" message. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
