Configuring Response-O-Matic with NetObjects Fusion

Response-O-Matic (http://www.response-o-matic.com) is a free form processor service which will take form information and send it to an email address you specify without making you mess around with CGI scripts on your own server.  Here's how to use it with NetObjects Fusion

Step One: Create a Form on a page in NetObjects Fusion

1. Place your form fields and name them in a manner which makes sense to you (you should be aware that your customer *will* be seeing the names you give to these fields in the "response page", so be careful :) )
2. Place a "Submit" button using the Form Button Tool - do *not* use the AutoForms  component on this page.
3. Make sure that the checkbox labeled "Layout / Text Box / Table is a form" is checked.

 Step Two: Set the Form to access Response-O-Matic

1. Click on the "Settings" button next to the "Layout / Text Box / Table is a form" checkbox in the "Form Settings" window, type in the following text into the "Action" field:

   http://www.response-o-matic.com/cgi-b in/rom.pl

   and make sure the "Method" is set to "Post"
2. Click the "+" key below the "Hidden Fields" window and create a hidden field with these settings:

   Name: your_email_address Value: (type in your full email address)

   This is the *only* hidden field which you *must* create in order for Response-O-Matic to work with this form. There are several other hidden fields you can create which will control other aspects of how Response-O-Matic will behave when you send your  form information to you.  Check out the usage note on "Hidden Fields" at http://www.response-o-matic.com/refer2.htm for full details.
