  Demon Web Hosting Example Site


ZISP Sample Site

This is a simple site to demonstrate the ZISP dynamic tools.
These features are enabled for all Demon Web Hosting accounts by default.
The scripts themselves are stored in a virtual folder called /zisp/
You will not actually see this folder inside your /docroot folder and you cannot edit the scripts directly but the settings and HTML templates can be edited.

It is also possible to have more than one of each of the tools on your website, in fact you can have up to 100.
Look at the ZISP Dynamic Tools documentation to find out how.

NOTE for customers that have purchased the Secure SSL option for their account: If you want to use the Zisp tools under your secure https:// URL then please see the instructions at:

EMail Form

The email form lets people send you emails. Create a link to it like this:
<a href="/zisp/mailer">click here</a>

If you want to use your own custom form, instead of the default one, then
use a form action line like this to call the mailer script:
<form action="/zisp/mailer" method="post">

Before people can send you email, you need to put your email address in a file called email.txt inside the /docroot/_zisp_/ directory.
If you do not already have the directories called /docroot/_zisp_/ and /docroot/easyzisp/ within your site you can create them with your FTP client.

You can have more than one email form on your site. e.g. email form 2
The source code for this is: <a href="/zisp/mailer?ID=2">email form 2</a>
