I have the below attached form, the action of which is the very simple mailto, because I am not familiar with perl, php,or asp.<br />
My question is if there is any way to receive the information of the form, which are plenty,not in plain text format but as an html or anyother format easier to read and<br />
work with.<br />
I would appreciate any help.<br />
Thanks very much<!--content-->well using the mailto: function you are limiting yourself severely. I don't think you can. I know you can add subjuect and CC and BC but not sure if you can add to the body so it is loaded as html. there are a lot of free scripts out there where all you have to do is uploaded it to your server and set a few variables, no knowledge of cgi is needed.<!--content-->If you haven't already, you could try adding this to your starting FORM tag...<br />
<br />
ENCTYPE="text/html"<br />
<br />
Which may or maynot help the readability of the contents in your inbox.<br />
<br />
The mailto itself may be limiting the results of your form in other ways too, such as some browsers will not allow processing a form using the mailto but instead bring up an email window with no info transferred.<br />
<br />
If you have CGI capabilities for your site, I would highly suggest getting a small easy readymade script and using that for processing your forms. All that is usually done is a simple upload and changing the value of your ACTION field. Let us know and we can post a few links to some.<!--content-->I would appreciate if anyone posted some links for any cgi scripts that could help me.<br />
