BIS 450 DeVry Week 7 iLab 8

• Password: Enter the same password as the one that you use for Citrix iLab (must be re-entered each time).
Click Open.
STEP 2: Gather Outbound E-mail Server Information.
1. As explained in the “Preparation” section above, to fully test your work in this iLab, you will need an e-mail account
that allows SMTP access. A new account from a free web-based e-mail provider such as Gmail, separate from your
existing personal e-mail account, is recommended.
2. By reviewing the documentation supplied by your e-mail provider, gather the following information about outbound
SMTP access for your account:
• What is your e-mail address?
• What is the SMTP Server address?
• What is the port number?
• What is your account name? (may be the same as your e-mail address)
• What is the password?
• Is a secure connection (SSL or TLS) required?
TIP: For Gmail, you can obtain this information from
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287. Look in the section for “Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
Server.” For other e-mail providers, look for instructions on configuring e-mail clients like Microsoft Outlook, and/or
information on using POP, IMAP, or SMTP. In these instructions, you are only interested in the settings for outgoing
mail via SMTP; you do not need to be concerned about settings that relate to incoming mail via POP or IMAP (although
these are often discussed together in the documentation).
TIP: Some e-mail providers may list more than one port number for SMTP. You may have to try each listed port, in
turn, to find out which one will work for you, so make note of them all.
If you are unable to obtain an e-mail account with SMTP access, or if you choose not to do so, you may skip this step
with no deduction.
STEP 3: Create a Newsletter Signup Form.
1. Add a new web form named Signup.aspx to the site. Make sure that it goes into the root of the site and not into one
of the subfolders.
2. Set the Title property of the Document to Newsletter Signup.
3. Attach StyleSheet.css to the Web form.
4. As you did when setting up the Web forms in previous labs, open Default.htm and copy the contents of its element
(in HTML, everything in between the and tags, but not the and tags themselves). Paste these contents inside the div in
Signup.aspx (in HTML, in between the
and
tags). Delete the contents of the #main div after pasting.
5. Inside div#main, type Sign Up for Free Nutrition Newsletter! as a heading for the form, followed by a blank line. Bold
this heading.
6. Type the prompt Enter your e-mail address:. To the right of this prompt, place a TextBox from the Standard section
of the Toolbox. To the right of the TextBox (on the same line), place a Button. On the line below, place a Literal control.
Set the properties of each control as indicated below:
Control (ID) Text
TextBox txtEmail
Button btnSignup Sign Up for Newsletter
