Argh.
I suspected that. The only people I have spoken to have said it launches their em client.
An internet cafe user would need to be logged into their webmail for it to work, then.
Any further thoughts, Rev?
Do you host the sites that you make ?? Are they all hosted on the same server ??Originally Posted by maglinders
If so,you could use sendmail as advised earlier.
Can't think of any other options at the moment.

That's what I wondered. People who have tested my mailform all say it launches their mail client. Suppose they are in an internate cafe and no mail client is live at the time they use the mailform?
I only do basic html. Doesn't sendmail require fancy coding? Where can I get how-to on this, please?
if i might suggest, PHP would be a better option to create a contact form. i have one running at my site, so you might take a look .
So do we.Originally Posted by adeydas

what like --
<?php
echo "
<HTML>
<BODY></HTML>
<FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"mailto:your email address here\"></BODY>
Name<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"name\" SIZE=\"30\"><BR>
E-mail address<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"subject\" SIZE=\"30\"><BR>
Your message<BR>
<TEXTAREA NAME=\"text\" COLS=\"30\" ROWS=\"5\"></TEXTAREA><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\">
<INPUT TYPE=\"reset\">
</FORM>
";
?>
I'm using Windows 7 - you got a problem with that?
Curio, I think that code is what they are currently using (although just html embedded in HTML) but that form will lauch their email client, not actually send it from the server.

It was a joke - I just copied Revs post and php'd it.
But incidentally no-one has mentioned where it's all hosted and what options may be available, frontpage for instance allows pretty much point and click mail form creation and of course there are lots of scripts out there for perl, cgi, php implementations.
-- any method will need a mail program (smtp server of some kind) on the server --
