Hi,<br />
I have searched the threads concerning entering 'subject' and 'body' info. into a 'mailto:' statement. I've used what was suggested and it seems to work but....<br />
<br />
1. An extra CR/LF is added BEFORE the body text. Why?<br />
How do I get rid of it?<br />
<br />
2. Can I format the font etc. of the body text using<br />
the 'mailto:' statement?<br />
<br />
My existing and functional version obtained from a thread in this forum (A test so not yet published) below...<br />
<br />

P.S. I have just read the guidelines on posting. So I have edited my post accordingly (I hope). I agree with it entirely, I know bits of javascript and HTML and try to help with the simpler problems and it can be a trial trying to understand someone's code!<!--content-->if you use mailto protocole for forms action attribute,you are stuck with whatever browsers is defaulted to show to you.<br />
FOr better email formatting you can use server side coding.<!--content-->Hi Khalid,<br />
Thanks for that. I will do a search of the forums to find out how to create server-side email. I assume it would be similar to a posting a form and processing it with a cgi script?<br />
<br />
Thanks again.<!--content-->Originally posted by learninghtml <br />

Yep you gotta write a script to handle the form. Using Php would probably be the easiest way.<!--content-->
