{ a little bit lost with forms.. can you help mee? }

[admin]

Hi guys :}<br />
<br />
I've never posted before , so pls forgive me if I'm not up to scratch with forum etiquette. o_o blinks*<br />
<br />
I've been struggling to make a form for the last few days and simply can't get my head around it! It's totally beyond me! :{ I'm almost at the point of curling up into a ball and rolling myself off the face of the earth. <br />
<br />
it's pretty messy, but this is what i have so far:<br />
<br />
<br />
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:[email protected]"><br />
<TR align="right" vAlign=top><br />
<TD colSpan=4 noWrap class=Bodytext><div align="left"> <br />
<br />
</div></TD><br />
</TR><br />
<TR align="right" valign="top"> <br />
<TD noWrap class=Bodytext><div align="left"><font size="2" face="verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your Name<FONT color=#ff0000>*</FONT></font></div></TD><br />
<TD colSpan=3 noWrap><div align="left"><font size="2" face="verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <br />
<br />
<br />
<INPUT TYPE="text" size=67 name="Name"><br />
</font></div></TD><br />
</TR><br />
<TR align="right" valign="top"> <br />
<TD noWrap class=Bodytext><div align="left"><font size="2" face="verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your Email Address<FONT color=#ff0000>*</FONT></font> </div></TD><br />
<TD colSpan=3 noWrap><div align="left"><font size="2" face="verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <br />
<br />
<INPUT TYPE="text" size=67 name="Email"><br />
</font></div></TD><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"><br />
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="reset"><br />
</form><br />
<br />
<br />
now - i think the form works okay but when i test it, i receive an email that has a file with an .ATT extension. when i try to open this, my computer won't read it!! *sniff*<br />
<br />
if you can help me in any way with this, it'd be much appreciated (and i'd be eternally grateful!!)<br />
<br />
*^_^*<br />
<br />
many thanks in advance for your time..<br />
{sugarpod}<!--content-->The form itself looks pretty ok, but you really shouldn't use mailto.<br />
<br />
Its really messy and will drive a lot of people away from emailing you. <br />
<br />
Use a server-side script, e.g PHP. <br />
<br />
You can find plently of these on <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hotscripts.com">http://hotscripts.com</a><!-- m --> <br />
<br />
Or just post in the Server-side scripting forum.<!--content-->Thanks, Gamimi!<br />
<br />
I'll definitely try it out! :}<br />
I had a bit of a cautious peek and my mind is already boggling (is there a level below 101??) ...<br />
will have to clear my head and try again tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Thank youuu!<br />
