Online Form Help Please

[gratch webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I?m attempting to use the drag/drop behavior formsunder internet/forms to create a standard online form for a web site.

Under form post-Field
Parameters =
Form name = form 1
Item name = Name
Etc?.

Under Form Post Submit
Parameters =
Form name =form 1
Url = [url]Http://mysite.net/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl[/url]

Under Form Post Hidden
Parameters =
Form name =form 1
Item name= Recipient
Item value = [email]anything@mysite.net[/email]


This to me seems like it should work, but doesn?t. So I emailed the hosting company and asked if I would need another cgi file (I was attempting to use the one that they supply).
I think that they thought that I was asking for help in writing the behavior, this is there reply ?Sorry, but we do not offer web-design services or technical support regarding
web-design issues.? So I?m asking you ladies and gentlemen, in order to use this behavior do I need a different cgi file or am I messing up in the parameters.

Any Help would be a blessing thanks

There are any number of things that may be wrong.

Have looked at the netError() and/or netTextResult() values to be sure
that you're hitting the server correctly?

Are you sending a string or a property list?

If you are using a canned CGI, are you using the correct property names
for the data that you're sending?

Have you read through the example at htt://www.updatestage.com?
