mailto link not working

Hello,

For some reason the mailto link does not work on my site, any ideas?

It is on the tell-a-friend section of the site.

http://www.make-a-date.co.uk

Any help would be appreciated.

Works fine, it put:

'website reccomendation' as the subject and a paragraph of text in the content and put an email address in the 'to' field.

Just incase you didnt know, mailto doesnt automatically send the email. It uses the default mail client to send it.

Re: mailto link not working

I suggest leaving the Mailito tag behind and focusing on a PHP form handler if you want someone to send you an e-mail from your site.

They can easily be done infact they have their own special place on W3schools. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp

I suggest also looking at this article on Forums and standards. http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Web-D...andards/Forms/
