I have created an html form and would like to be able to send it to an email address. I don’t need any kind of script for this to work on macs, but it does not work on pc’s. Is there any javascript that can be used to send the form showing the variables to an email address?
@dhermesauthorMar 10.2003 — #I haven't done a form like this before, so I wasn''t sure what the encryption type should be. I will take your advice and see if that makes a difference.
@boojumMar 10.2003 — #thats not an official mime type and i have not seen mailto used like that so maybe its a mac centric trick. normaly you have some parsing program that you post your form to, and it sends the email
@khalidali63Mar 10.2003 — #That might be true,But we are talking about HTML related enctypes,here is what HTML4.01 spec says
enctype = content-type [CI]
This attribute specifies the content type used to submit the form to the server (when the value of method is "post"). The default value for this attribute is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". ....
@dhermesauthorMar 10.2003 — #The post method worked fine on a pc, however, it is still requiring an email client in order to send the email. If your email client is not set to send messages automatically, you physically have to open up outlook, or whatever you are using and hit the send button.
I'm trying to figure out how to send through the internet rather than through an email client. I know you can do this with other programming languages, but was wondering if there is a java script for forms that can send the form results to an email address.
