Submit

Using 'Frontpage 2002' as my editor and programming htm(l) I find that this
piece of code doesn't function as I expected..
<h2>text</h2>
<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="mailto:[email protected]">
..
..
..
<input type="submit" value ="order" name="submit">
..
..</form.</body></html>

In webview this doesn't return the form data but only opens my email account

No, it doesn't open your email account. It launches your email client
software to compose an email. That is what it should do as you've written
it. What do you *want* it to do?

Hi Kev. Thanks for replying.
I think I've not made myself very clear as to what I expected. I expected
the data from the various fields in the form that I had constructed to appear
in an email and sent to the email address designated...maybe I'm not reading
the book correctly.

You need to specify your email address in the form properties or use a
server-side script to send the email.

See http://www.murraywebs.com/faq.asp?id=11 to set up the form to send email
and http://www.murraywebs.com/faq.asp?id=24 to set up the form with a
customised confirmation/thank you page.

This procedure requires a windows server & the server extensions with the
mail transport enabled (check with your host).

Cheers Andrew. I've noted the procedure and will give it a bash in a minute,
also saved our site.
