I'm setting up a simple one-box form for a caption contest. I have it set up so that people enter the caption in the textarea and then click submit, when it will send to my e-mail. I'm testing it out myself first, and no matter how I seem to change the code, when I press submit, it brings up a blank Microsoft Outlook message. I'm wondering if this is some personal setting I have that's getting in the way, (although I don't even USE Outlook...), or I screwed up somewhere in the code. *Argh*...I have never gotten along with forms.<!--content-->Well I'm no expert in CGI, As a matter of fact i have no idea how to program in the language,But I suggest using CGI because It Can Send Value's From A Textbox to a cgi bin.<br />
If Your site is on Geocities or homestead you already have a cgi bin(just ask them what the location is).\<br />

Sorry I Couldn't Help
.<!--content-->The newer browsers do not support the use of mailto in forms very well. The old ones did not do much better. Using mailto is not very reliable because it requires the user to have their mail client set up correctly which in most cases it is not. You should use a server side language such as Perl or PHP to process your forms. If your host does not provide this option then you should try <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bravenet.com/">http://www.bravenet.com/</a><!-- m --> . I am not sure what their record is so I can't say if they are good or not. They are free though.<!--content-->Well, thanks for the suggestions. PHP and PERL are really hard for me to write; I've barely learned how to use them. I guess I'll try to figure something out.<!--content-->
