Suggestions script

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 07.2004

I downloaded the suggestions script in the forms section. The only change I made was to the mailto statement. The script sent the email to me bu the body where the suggestion was supposed to be was blank. the subject was correctly filled in. How can I get this script to pass the suggestions to my email client(outlook express).
I didn’t change any of the other statements. Was there an error in the script. I know very little of Javascript and I have no clue where to look or even what to look for to correct this problem. [url]http://forums.webdeveloper.com/newthread.php?action=newthread&forumid=3&#[/url]

@oleragMar 07.2004 — You should post your code and also a link to the site's code

sample can help too. Right now, those links in your post

don't cut it.

@David_HarrisonMar 07.2004 — I don't think that IE or Outlook Express like you using the body= in the mailto: so I don't think what you want to do can be done. You could always look into server-side mailing though.
