Design

In this tutorial you will learn how to create your all important Dreamweaver Contact Form and have the details of the form emailed straight to your INBOX. Capturing Contact Information of potential customers in extremely important in the business world. Don't let those potential customers or clients disappear just because you didn't have a Contact Form on your website. By following this Dreamweaver Tutorial you will have a WORKING Contact Form up and running in a few easy steps.

NOTE: Before we start you will need to download this PHP Form to Email Script and unzip it to the root directory of your website. Dowload the file from dreamweaverspot.com

Now you are ready to begin inserting the form and the fields you would like onto the page. In this example I am going to create anew page, but you can easily add this to an existing page if you already have one in mind for the form to be placed on.

1. In Dreamweaver, choose File > New The New Document Dialog Box appears.

2. In the Blank Document list, choose HTML, then click Create to create a new HTML document.

3. In the Title text field in the Document toolbar, enter Contact Form to add a title to your document.

4. Choose File > Save, then save the document in your local site folder. Name it ContactForm.htm.

5. Next we are going to Insert a Form onto the page, Choose Insert > Form then Form from the Flyout Menu. A Form dialog box will then open. In the Action text box type in FormtoEmail.php (this is the file you extracted to the root of your website earlier). Change the Method to POST and then in the NAME text box type in ContactForm.

6. Next step is to place the form objects onto the page (the information we would like to collect). In this example I have placed a text box for Name and Email Address, and also a Text Area for Comments. To do this click inside your form object and then from the top menu select Insert > Form > Label. From the Code Window click in between the LABEL Tags and type in Name:. Next from the top menu again select Insert > Form > Text Field. Name the Text field name from the properties box at the bottom.

Repeat those steps and add another Label and Text Field and name it email.

7. Add another Label and type in Comments. Then add a Text Area, go to Inset > Form > Text Area in the top menu. Name the Text Area comments from the Properties box at the bottom and give the Character Width a value of 50 and the Number of Lines a value of 10.

8. Add a Button. Again from the top menu Insert > Form > Button. Your Form should now look like this: (note I have put each element on a different line to help with the usability).

9. Now we need to edit a couple of lines in the FormtoEmail.php file. Open the file in Dreamweaver. The first line you need to edit is the line that starts with $my_email.

Change the email address to the address you want the emails to be sent to. The other line that you may wish to change is this one:

This is where the visitor will be directed after they have pressed the SUBMIT button. If you have a page that you like to direct them to then place the location of the file in there, or simply leave it blank and they will get a thank you message on the same page.

10. Upload both files to your web server and bingo all done. You should know have a working contact form.

Balaclava - a conventional yarn use to make things that would embrace the area over the neck, ear till head & at time lower down till ones shoulders. When it's woolen then its best use would be to safeguard one self in extreme cold conditions. The true essence of Balaclava can be reflected in light colors, in textured yarn, decorated by crochet trims and petals or then have the full thing make yarn. To bring best results try using crochet along with knitting.

Balaclava is among the best finds of World War I, the method to make is rather easy thus everyone can make and something that shall come pretty handy during winters.

There still exist people whose requirements are not fashion centric, they require something unique. During winters balaclava does exactly that, give something unique. Mind you, people elders, youngsters, kids, be it school going kids, or factory workers, fishermen, mountain bikers or skiers, campers, hunter teams or even elders sitting at home next to some bonfire could all get some much needed help with balaclava to keep the cold at bay.

Balaclava is an art in itself thus its not something beginners can make, those who have sufficient knowledge of crocheting will find the task easier to do. We might know of different varieties of stitching methods but not these would be ideal for balaclava making, a few stitching methods suit it more.

You will dislike if crochet art leaves many pores and then when worn air can slip through it. These fore mentioned stitches would be ideal while attempting a balaclava - rose, Tunisian, dual crochet, lattice, button hole crochet with vertical or horizontal, chevron stripes, little leaf, leaf, zigzag, up & down, pineapple, increasing, twisted and Russian stitches.

Now if you have any command over any of the above mentioned stitches then your task shall be very smooth.

The requirements and supplies needed for a crochet is relatively little and a nice design can have you started quickly. Be clear that balaclava making involves some kind of technique with lots going into minute details thus requiring more time to make.

For this reason if you can take learning classes or have some video it will be beneficial. As for supplies part the requirements are 2 balls of knitting (aram or worsted weight wool), a slightly more heavier knitting worsted that has minimum 15 percent mohair in it.

Other requirements are type5 & type7 needles, round and/or dual point, in addition a stitch-holder or extra wool, and markers, yarn needle, tape measure, crochet hook which shall to resurrect fallen stitches if incase knitting forms a major part of your job;this because some people like knitting large parts in one go.

My advise to those wanting to do a full crochet project then start off using a crochet hook instead of knitting needles. This will save you from great hassle later

There exist many books as well as websites where information on balaclava projects can be found. If you would like to use that information to your advantage then the following websites could come in handy.
