The GuestBook applet provides a zone where visitors can send you a message by email. Once you have received the mail you decide or not to put the messages in the file "guestbook.txt". The applet displays the messages in this file.
Important notes: As applets can't connect to remote
hosts, this applet connects to your local server. So your web server must also be a
mail server. To know if it's true open a Telnet session and try this : 'telnet yourhost
25', for example: 'telnet chez.com 25' If it works (no errors) your web server is also a
mail server.
This is the "guestbook.txt" structure :
first line : the date : mm/dd/yy
second line : the name, following by " : ", following by the email
following lines : the text
sample :

Special notes |
* The background color format is hexadecimal format like this : blue is "#0000ff"", red is "#ff0000" ... If you want that the background color is the same as the one of the page, look at the html source file and find the balise : <body bgcolor="#00FFFF"> then copy the value, here it's "#00ffff". Use the "HexColor" applet to convert RGB color to hexadecimal color. |
