I'd like to know if CoffeeCup is the right place to find what I'm looking for.

Basically I'd like to create a form in my blog as a front end to another form with some preset fields. For example, here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/gc/order-emai … entries*=0

I'd like to preset the 'Recipient email' to my email.

Please tell me if this is the right forum, and where to start. Thanks.

Hiya Aro,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by front end to another form, but I can tell you that you can have the form setup with your email as the recipient for the form results without having to have your email showing on the form at all even. If you want it showing you can have it showing also with a preset value.

Hi, I am a total novice when it comes to websites. In fact I am a bit of a technophobe when it comes to technology. I am currently a stay at home mother and I would like to learn HTML and CSS so that I could design my own website eventually. Is the one being on offer here good for a complete novice? I need something that is basically simple to learn.

Many thanks for your help.

If you want to learn html and css, you should download a trial version of the HTML Editor and play around with it. Chose one of the built-in templates and look at the code for both css and html. But you also should get some basic knowledge of the two 'languages', which you could get here: http://www.w3schools.com/ . They also have a 'sandbox' where you can try the various techniques that you read about.

Thanks Jo Ann. But where do I start, any lead?

Sarah,

Welcome to the world of HTML!

If you are looking for a good HTML Editor, you really have come to the right place! Plus you can have a free site hosted on your CoffeeCup S-Drive until you are ready to venture out into the great world wide web.

First let me say, if your budget allows I would go to http://www.learable.com and take a few of the beginner courses for CSS and HTML. I would start with HTML then move your way into CSS. It is $17 for one month of classes. But if you are serious and want to learn that would be the fastest way. Also as Inger mentioned http://www.w3schools.com/ has a lot of goof information if you know where to look, (They are not very organized.)

So, download the free http://www.coffeecup.com/html-editor/ HTML Editor or buy it! Signup for your Free S-Drive account which is where you will store your site so others around the world can view it and find some HTML and CSS Courses!

And as always! We are here to help should you not understand something!

One more thing... You could use http://www.coffeecup.com/designer/ Visual Site Designer (VSD). Which is a "What you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) editor. So you can build your site by dragging and dropping things to arrange them on the page. Which does not allow you to interact with the codding much at all, but still builds nice websites.

Aro, start here! http://www.coffeecup.com/web-form-builder/ Allows you to build so awesome forms... And from what I understand about your post, it will allow you to set the recipient email to your own.

Are you quite sure about this:



?

From gleaning information online, I'm starting to wonder if the server of a major online retailer would allow it.

Hiya Aro,

Truly I need to know more information about exactly what it is you are wanting to do. Walk us through what you are expecting your form to do as if you were the user, and walk us through what you want the results to do. I am very sure the form builder can do what ever you may need it to do, but I'm pretty vague on what you are wanting to do with it yet.

Yet, what your previous answer contains exactly what I want to do:



So I don't have anything to add to that. But for those who are new to this thread, the destination 'form' is:
