My contact page is set up and reads, "Your message has been SENT". However, I'm not getting the email forwarded to my email that I set up in HTML:

<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<title>BluntImage</title>

<link href="css/singlePageTemplate.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<style type="text/css">

body {

  background-image: url(IMAGES/DRONE_FALLS_1600px.jpg);

  text-align: center;

}

</style>

    Ideally, your contact form must be programmed with a server-side script that is supported by your web hosting plan (PHP, Perl, ASP.net, etc...)  Ask your hosting provider which scripts you can use.

    The form script must perform the following:

    • Hide your email address from robot harvesters,
    • Collect and sanitize data,
    • Validate form input fields & give users feedback,
    • Stop spam bots & thwart hacking risks,
    • Process form data and send it via your web server to an email address.

    If your hosting plan does not support server-side scripts, there are commercial services you can use like Wufoo.

    It is bad practice to have the form action with a mailto: email address. because

    1. it leaves your email address open to email harvesters who in turn sell them on to unscrupulous operators.

    2. the person sending the form must have an email client (like Outlook) on their system for it to work

    If you want to persist in continuing with this method, then have a look at How to create a web form in Dreamweaver | Adobe Dreamweaver CC tutorials (I shudder!)

    If you want the correct way to construct the contact form, have a look at Alt-Web Design & Publishing: Responsive Contact Form with Bootstrap 3.2 and PHP (Part 1).​ This form uses Bootstrap for its styling, but you can ignore the Bootstrap bits. Just concentrate on the form mechanics.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
