help!!! form using mailto:

New Member
I'm still new to javascript and I would appreciate any help.

I'm using the action=mailto:email@com to see if my form works correctly. When I submit the form, instead of sending the form to the email address, it opens a blank email page. Why? Is it because of MSIE 6? Please help!

Here is the script below:


<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

function myValid(){
if(document.myForm.first_name.value==""){
alert("Please enter your first name!")
document.myForm.first_name.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.last_name.value==""){
alert("Please enter your last name!")
document.myForm.last_name.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.company.value==""){
alert("Please enter your company's name!")
document.myForm.company.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.address.value==""){
alert("Please enter your address!")
document.myForm.address.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.city.value==""){
alert("Please enter your city!")
document.myForm.city.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.zipCode.value==""){
alert("Please enter your zip code!")
document.myForm.zipCode.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.state.value==""){
alert("Please enter your state!")
document.myForm.state.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.country.value==""){
alert("Please enter your country!")
document.myForm.country.focus()
return false
}
if(document.myForm.email.value==""){
alert("Please enter your email address!")
document.myForm.email.focus()
return false
}
return true
}
//-->
</script>
