forms in Forrest

[Glen Tulin <gl...@iteclectic.com>]

What's the recommended way to implement simple forms in the
Forrest-generated web site? "Simple" means no Cocoon continuation / no
sophisticated page flow. Any examples available? Also, on the receiving
request from a form I'd like to send email - how can I do it (besides Cocoon
action and Java mail). Thanks a lot.

Just a remark, my personal site is managed by Free.fr.
And - it is not an exception - I cannot use the mail command for my site 
to avoid spam creation.
But they explain in their site how we can do to send the result of an 
HTML form by mail.
I did exactly what they say : create a form in a directory and create a 
result page obligatory called result.html and located in the same 
directory...
I created these pages with forrest and everything is OK.

No examples online, but you can use normal HTML forms. See

Using the Cocoon mail facilities is the only sensible option in my book. 
However, you could, of course, pass the results to any script you wanted 
and have the result skinned by Forrest usig the same technique as a above.
