Help please with an online application form

[horseshoes]

Hello all, I've just filled out an on-line application form and saved it in My Documents. I haven't a clue how to attach a photograph to it or indeed how to "send" it. Please help.

Online application forms are just as they say, online, you fill them in on a website and then click submit (or similar). They are not meant to be saved.

I realised that, but when I couldn't work out how to attach the photo, I thought I'd better save it. I cant see anywhere that says submit either.

The submit is usually right at the bottom of the form, they wouldn't ask you to fill it in online if you weren't meant to send it that way. If they wanted you to attach a photo then there should have been a Browse option some where for you to find your photo on your hard drive and upload it.

Bit hard to suggest anything without knowing what the form is or seeing it.

If it's not personal in anyway can you post what form it is on here (obviously don't if it's going to give anything personal away in doing so)

[horseshoes]

I think I may be a bit confused here, as at the bottom it says to e-mail it. So perhaps I have to copy it somehow and then e-mail it as a sort of attachment along with an attached photo (that bit I can do). Anyway here's the link for the form. I appreciate your help. http://www.12yard.com/programmes.php?sid=22

I read it to say that you can mail it with an attached photo - that would be the simplest option!

That's a word document so it's not an online form.

Download it, fill it in using Word, and then attach it and any photo to an email and send the email to them.

OK. I know it's probably simple for you who know how to do it, but I have never done this before. At the top of my page I have a toolbar that has "mailings" on it. Do I e-mail it by using that?

There was a link to email right at the bottom of the page

[237SJ]

Sorry, ignore me. It wasn`t a link

Have you got a printer? if you don't use e-mail or are not familiar with it then easier to print and post with the photo

[granny grump]

Which show are you applying for horseshoes? I printed off my application and sent it in with a photo

[ChuckFickens]

In fact having just looked at the form there is a place to attach a passport photo so it probably is best to print it, attach the photo to the space on the form and then send it by normal mail.

[horseshoes]

I know that the e-mail address is there but it isn't a link as such. I thought there would be somewhere to click to submit and that I could attch a photo by the usual method of "browse" and picking a photo to attach. I can do that because I sell on e-bay but as for anything else - I'm lost which is why I'm asking for help. Can somebody please tell me do I go to my e-mails and send the form , which I saved, as an attachment or do I do it another way. I'm really sorry if this sounds stupid to you but we all have to learn somewhere.

[horseshoes]

Problem chuck - no printer, and yes I agree, that would have been simplest! but thank you anyway.

[ChuckFickens]

OK, well you must have an email address that you used for registering here and on Ebay, so goto to the normal place you would to read your emails then look for a button that says new (or write mail or similar) and type the email address on the form into the "to" box, then look for a button that says something like attach file (or maybe a paperclip symbol) and browse to where the file is stored and select it to attach it, then repeat the attach file and browse to your picture and attach that too, then click send.

Hilite the page & copy & paste to Word. Fill in details. Go to 'Insert' on Word page & attach picture. email all to given address.

[tamborine]

do wot Chuck says....we answered together, sorry

[horseshoes]

That's it Chuck. That's what I was getting at, just hopeless at explaining it. So, new e-mail to the 12 yard e-mail address; attach 1) the form attach 2) the photo. Correct? I shan't be putting computing down as a specialised subject! Your help is very much appreciated. I do understand it must be very frustrating to try to explain to a dinosaur something that I'm sure is second nature to some. I'm sure my 6 year old grand-daughter would have a better idea! Thanks again.

Tambo, why would anyone want, or need to copy and paste from a word document into a word document?
