Tutorial: Contact Form

By following this tutorial you will learn how to use MX Kollection 3 features to quickly build a page that allows your site visitors leave a message for a certain department of your company.

The web application will allow you to:

• Build a page that lets site visitors write messages to one of your company's departments
• Save those messages in a database
• Send the messages through e-mail to the respective departments.

This tutorial contains two main steps:

1. Creating the form that will only store the messages in a database.
2. Implementing the send e-mail option for the messages.

If you have the MX Kollection 3 bundle installed, then you have all the needed tools. Otherwise, the following separate products should be installed on your computer in order to complete the Contact Form tutorial:

• ImpAKT

• MX Send E-mail

• MX Form Validation (optional - this product is used in the tutorial as well, but you can complete it without it also).

The estimated completion time for this tutorial is about 30 - 45 minutes. It depends on your authoring knowledge with Macromedia Dreamweaver and MX Kollection 3.

It's recommended that you follow this tutorial in the intended order to avoid potential problems.
