Look, this is one of the many reasons why i hate developers who teach people or encourage people to learn development of sites with DW,

It sucks, hope no developer feel offended, but i feel one should be able to decifere the difference between what DW can do and what is obtainable with some other technologies,

@Poster. Both of the things you mentioned are only obtained off DW. What i mean is that you need to make use of some other stuffs.

A mail for an organisation/webmail can be gotten once you host a site, Major hosts come with amount of mail you can set up. All you need do is to register it, Your host can do that for you, or you can do that yourself with CPanel, a software that comes with hosting a site. Then you recieve the mails when you loging to your CPanel.

The second thing you wanna do, will need a Serverside Programming Language like PHP, JSP, ASP or the likes. It needs a level of knowledge of programming, although the interface (Form GUI) will be done using dreamweaver.

Like your dropdown box and the likes. But making it work will require Programming!

Advanced DW users can achieve everything u can achieve with your so called "other technologies"

Who told you DW does not handle PHP, ASP, JSP? You better say what you know!

Donpuzo is rigth. Login to your hosting control panel and and click "Mail Account" to create as many email as possible depending on your hosting package.

Meanwhile, as a beginner don't consider serverside programming languages because you may get stocked.

Hmm. . .
hibernating. . .

why are yuo guys hitting at urself. na waoh. just to respond to simple question.

ANYWAY my guy, you can simply create the email account from the control panel. as for the form using dreamweaver, u still need some script as suggested but if u really want to do something fast and your clients won't have to really bother, about the way they receive the email(SEBI NA TO RECEIVE INFO!), you can create a free form template using www.123contactform.com. when creating the form, direct the receiving email id to the one you created in the control panel. it works. all data will be received in the email. -PRONTO!

_{**why do people launch scathing attacks on dreamweaver, but go behind to use it?**} 

Thank you guys for all your contributions.May the good Lord bless you.

@~Borat~
lol. . .

@Borat. Lol, I don't even know how to use DW

@Canachy. I no fit waste time with you.

Ok. lets be factual, when you want to code PHP, ASP or JSP, is it with the design view or the code area you will include it.


When i meant other technologies i meant languages! and not something i invented!

DW, Front page and all such software generate code for the Layout or GUI. When you need to do serious coding, i wonder if DW can do that.


Now how do you want to set up a mail for a website with DW. or how do you want to code a Contact for to hit somewhere using only DW. Yet you say i am telling a lie.

Honestly that's why i hate Nland's webmasters area. I am off!

Guess you are looking for a web developer to waste time with arguing pointlessly.

Make una leave DW alone oooooo, it is making me work faster here and i dey dance  . Check my screenshot and see how many files i have created and i'm working on.

Now imagine moving around all those files with my former pal NP++. Its the reason I really couldnt work well without 2 monitors while using NP++

I dunno what the design view of DW really looks like though :-p
Havnt checked that part out since I got this CS5

DW is only a tool. Its as flexible as a drop dead gorgeous babe. The reaction she will give me (as a fine boy that i think i am) will be different from the reaction that she will give you (as an ugly boy that i know you are)  Now we know that was a joke, right? Why the squeezed face? 
All i'm saying is, leave the tool alone and face the solution.

Very soon una go soon start to treat jQuery they way una dey treat DW. Over the past few days I've been talking with one nl oga (not dhtml, not omni, not tellin u his name). He can work with pure javascript (which i cant do without ending up with migraines) and doesn't fancy jQuery. So whenever he tells me what he's up to in a project he's working on which involves pure javascript. I give him the jQuery equivalent which is ofcourse shorter and easier. But he says he wants full control of his javascript so he doesnt fancy jquery. I'm not bothered though cuz he is pretty stunning with pure JS. His name is 

@Dual, I see,

But help the poster out of hiis fix and say your opinion instead of derailing treads, Abi u don turn to my friend,

You know who i mean!

I should provide what other solution? The things above me aint solution enough? Oya come and pay me for solution naw. How do u wonno be charged? Per second or per hour.

If you had just faced the issue at hand without facing the matter of using DW or not, there wont be any derailment in the first place.

Per seconds

LoL, you crazy.

Solution to problem 1 = yoursite.com/webmail (or whatever alias your host has chosen, as given in the welcome mail)

Solution 1 to problem 2 = create a html form and set its action to process it with a php (or any other serverside lang) file. You can choose to do validation on both server and client or on either of them.

If you wonno do some fly ish, you can leave the form "action" blank and let javascript take care of the action. You set a click() action using jQuery, for the button and do the validation before passing it to jquery's ajax() post method which takes care of posting the form to the php (or any other serverside lang) file and returns feedback to the user on successful submission. All this happening without any page refresh/reload. Having a thank_you.html file is kinda old school 

These solutions are what I can come up with and they work. It is left to you to implement the solution through any means possible. Sadly, I cannot offer a click this click that tutorial on Dreamweaver as I do not click this click that on Dreamweaver.

I have provided a solution that has been held down by our friend the bot. If it gets cleared, it will be shown.

Nice idea, What if Javascript is Turned off, Is there a way to check that and fall on an alternative way,

What i do is, i don't display a Thank You page again, the page that has the engine for validation, I mean the .php page,

Below, after the action, i just pass a variable that if it is succesful, It should say, Thank you,

But if it's php i use, i simple show a page with the same Header ad footer.

And use <<<print this (Here i will have the full site header and footer with the message showing thanks for submition)print;,

And surely na the same page

That's neat.


If javascript is turned off it won't work! Lol this is my personal opinion, if someone is archaic enough not to have javascript turned on in this age and time (year check: 2010) for whatever reasons best known to him/her, my jobs are not for him/her. Na my personal thinking o, not imposing it on anyone. I have left the days of catering to non javascript surfers but i still put them in my prayers though that they have JS turned on one day. Until then, all they can get if they access any of my recent jobs, is a suggestion that they get real with trend and get a javascript enabled browser. 
If I keep catering to people that dont want to upgrade their user experience, I wont move forward, I will be stuck with them in 1997.
