I've now made an HTML form and I intended to put it up on our site, I've used this line of code to submit the form in an email message:<br />
<br />
<form action="MAILTO:[email protected]" method="post" enctype="text/plain"><br />
<br />
It works fine on my PC (XP professional with Outlook 2002, however when I tried it on another PC with NT4 and Outlook 97, all it brought up was a blank email message with nothing in it. I realise I've been posting various messages about this and I finally thought I'd cracked it!<br />
<br />
Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Bear in mind I have no knowledge of scripting a form!<br />
<br />
Thanks!<!--content-->this is probably because outlook 97 is not configured to for html emails, not sure how u do that cant remember back that far, have a look in the options<!--content-->Using the mailto method in a forms action will never be reliable. Use a server-side script instead, such as this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdevfaqs.com/php.php#mailer">http://www.webdevfaqs.com/php.php#mailer</a><!-- m -->) one in PHP.<!--content-->Thanks for that!<br />
<br />
I can take the hint, I have to learn at least a small amount of server-side stuff.<br />
<br />
Have Download <!--more-->ed the zip file and have now got a long weekend off work, so I'll have an attempt at battering something together on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
I don't feel too confident about this, so it may not be my last post!<br />
<br />
Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!<!--content-->Good luck...
<br />
<br />
Also, feel free to post in our PHP section if you need any help with it. Myself and others hang out there and are framiliar with the script.<!--content-->yeah good luck and thanks
