Specifically, how to process a web form with apage's URL, receiver's address, sender's notes et el? That's where I'mstuck. Could someone please share some of the best practices?As for me, I use JavaScript to do that, and it works fine cross-platform andcross-browser, although I'm not sure if the client-side approach is betteroption than server-side (WebCat) in this case.There must be a good reason why sites which using 'Email to a friend'feature prefer server-side...They have web forms and Perl or PHP processingfiles. But how the same can be achieved using WebDNA code?On the other hand, server-side approach assumes trips to a server whichseems to me kind of overkill for that type of task (again, maybe I'm wronghere). I'm puzzled. Any possible help in clarifying it would be really appreciated.Best Regards,Oleg -------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
