  3. CyberCities 1998 last accessed 10 Jul 2002
    Here is how the FREE web space works: On AFREEWEB.COM you fill out an application form and specify your own domain name. Pay an annual registration fee to Cyber Cities for the name you choose in the amount of $15 USD by Visa or MasterCard. You are automatically enrolled when your application is verified and your domain name is registered, usually within 24 hours. AFREEWEB.COM offers 15MB of disk space (to be increased soon) and free pop email accounts. We support nested directories. A complete list of free services will be made available soon. AFREEWEB.COM begins with a web browser based contol panel that allows you to control important server functions. Uploading pages and graphics yourself is a simple operation. Your web site is uploaded to the servers and maintained by using an FTP account.

  5. The Express Page 1998 last accessed 18 Jul 2002
    We receive money from the advertisers who display their ads at our website. Many of our users create and link multiple homepages together to produce an entire website. This is no limit to the number of pages you can create. The middle section of your homepage is limited to approximately 4000 characters. If you need more space, you can create multiple pages and link them together. Upload and use of personal images had to be disabled for legal reasons. For the same reason we had to disable the image upload function.

  6. Fortune City 1998 last accessed 18 Jul 2002
    100 meg, lots and lots and lots of popup ads
    There is no fee to the user for the web space or email address, as the banner advertising pays for this. 
    For this reason we are quite strict about showing banners and that no other advertising be put on the 
    page. But to answer your question, yes it is free. 
    You can have subdirectories.

    Remember -- we give you only 2 MB of our diskspace. Don't waste it, plan your homepage carefully. 
    Do not use excessive graphic files -- you'll waste diskspace and the viewers will hate you 
    when a 100 KB jpeg background loads at 154 bytes/second... 
    Make sure all your HTMLs, images and other files destined for the homepage take less than 2 MB 
    of your disk.

    Just starting out and don't mind ads on your pages? Try Free, then move up to Plus. 
    Choice of Ads. 20 MB of Disk Space. 1 GB of Bandwidth.

                                  The Tripod Form Handler 
    
    The beneficient folk at Tripod have made it possible to create a form in your directory and have the results sent to your e-mail address every time somebody fills it out. Now you, too, can have a survey or a quiz on your page. 
    
    The best way to learn is by example, so we've provided a couple of sample forms for you to use as starting points. Just paste these examples onto your Tripod homepage, and they will work! 
    
    
                          A Very Simple Form
    
            Here is a very simple form: 
            Comment:  
    
            And here is the HTML used to produce it: 
    
            
    Comment:
    The most important line here is:
    Both the "ACTION" and "METHOD" parameters should be included exactly as shown. A More Elaborate Form Here's an example of a more elaborate form: This is a sample, and nothing will happen if you send it in. Name: Comments: How did you find my page? Do you like gorgonzola? Yes No Here is how it was created: Name:
    Comments:

    How did you find my page?
    Do you like gorgonzola? Yes No
    Once again, the
    tag is the most essential ingredient. Both the "ACTION" and "METHOD" parameters should be included exactly as shown. If all goes well, your e-mail address will be looked up based on the information you provided upon registering with Tripod and the form results will be mailed to you. Details for the Advanced User The "Thankyou" Page By default, after a person submits a form they are taken to a page that confirms that the contents of a form have been sent. You have the option of directing a person to a thank you page of your own design after they submit a form. This can be controlled through the use of a hidden variable on the form. If you specify a variable called "thankyou" on the form, a page of your choice can be substituted for the default confirmation page: You must specify an absolute URL, including "http://" and the full path to the page. The "Subject:" Field You can set the subject line of the e-mail you get. Specify a variable called "Subject:" (spelled just like the analogous e-mail header) like this: If you want the person who fills out your form to set the subject, you can use this: Your point being: The "Reply-To:" Field You can also set the "Reply-To:" header of the e-mail response. This header is used when you reply to an e-mail message; it contains the e-mail address to send the reply to (hence "Reply-To:"). You can specify a static "Reply-To:" address if you want (using a tag similar to the "hidden" subject tag above), but that probably won't be very useful. Instead, if you want the person who fills out your form to give you her e-mail address, use HTML like this: Your e-mail address: Other Resources If these examples aren't enough to meet your needs, you can try one of the forms tutorials available on the web. Or better yet, find a form you like on some site, and use the 'View Source' option on your browser to see how they made it. Have Fun!
