E-mail form ???????

[pittypatter]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up an e-mail form below:

Code: Select all

<form action="mailto:postmaster@bcexpress.ca" method="post">
    <TABLE border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCC99">
<TR><TD class="content">Your Name:</TD>
<TD><input type=text name=realname size=30></TD></TR>
<TR><TD class="content">E-Mail:</TD>
<TD><input type=text name=username size=30></TD></TR>
<TR><TD class="content">Your Home Page</TD>
<TD><input type=text name=url size=30></TD></TR>
<TR><TD class="content">City:</TD>
<TD><input type=text name=state size=30></TD></TR>
<TR><TD class="content">Comments:</TD>
<TD><textarea name=comments COLS=30 ROWS=4></textarea></TD></TR>
<TR><TD><input type="submit" value="Submit"></TD></TR>
<TR><TD><input type="reset" value="Reset Entry"></TD></TR>
</table></form>

<form action="button"><input TYPE="button" VALUE="Close Window" onClick="window.close()"></form>

EDIT:- INSERTED FORUM CODE TAGS

Whenever I use this form the Outlook e-mail comes up and just has the address and subject, no comments that I entered into the text area.
Am I doing somehing wrong here?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

AFAIK, an email form need to be processed by some scripting method, either Perl, ASP or PHP usually. HTML alone cannot send an email, and I dont think that a mailto: link is a valid form target. Check you hosts for a built in email script - most have one.

"mailto:" can be used, but it may bring a lot of emails and, even worse, SPAM. It is HIGHLY recommended that a server-side processing script be used.

I will check web host for formmail script.
