Submit form

I have a form in which the user gives me his personal details, such as name address etc. Once the user clicks the ‘Submit’ button, the Outlook Express window appears, and all that info does not get to me. How do I avoid Outlook Express appearing, rather than sending the form to my e-mail address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@fredmvOct 20.2003 — I'm assuming you're sending mail by setting the [font=courier]action[/font] attribute of your [font=courier]<form>[/font] tag to your e-mail address. This really isn't the way you want to be doing this. The ideal way would be to use a server-side language such as PHP or Perl to send the form contents to your e-mail. Do you know if you have any server-side languages available on your server?

Do you know the code to insert into the form ?

Success!
