@swonJan 28.2003 — When you want to send a form with mailto you may have to add the enctype statement:

<FORM name="form" ACTION="mailto:[email protected]" enctype="text/plain" METHOD="POST">

<li>Name<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Name" SIZE=30>

<li>Residence<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Residence" SIZE=30>

<li>Occupation<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Occupation" SIZE=40>

<li>Age<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Age" SIZE=10>

<li>Hobbies<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Hobbies" SIZE=100>

<li>Favorite Bands<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Favorite Band(s)" SIZE=30>

<li>Misc Information<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Misc Information" SIZE=30>

<INPUT TYPE="submit">

<INPUT TYPE="reset">

</form>

this should do the trick!

@MPPauthorJan 28.2003 — its still not working, This page is in a IFRAME if it makes any difference, probly not tho. but THIS is the wierd part. Im using topcities as my server...when i preview the page im working on.....it works fine. i type some stuff in the boxes and send it to my adress and it comes back with everything.THATS ONLY in the preview box tho. as soon as i save my changes and go to the URL, then try it. It screws up. When i try to send the form text to my e-mail, write mail comes up, theres no sending adress, you have to type that in, and theres no text or attachments anywere to send. it weird

@meowJan 29.2003 — Yes it works. Eudora tried to send the below:

Name=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Residence=rrrrrrr

Occupation=rrrrrrr

Age=rrrrrrr

Hobbies=rrrrrrrr

Favorite Band(s)=rrrrrrr

Misc Information=gggggggg

mailto isn't reliable. Use a remotely hosted service for form handling if your host doesn't let you run scripts. ?
