@BigMoosieApr 08.2005 — It is working, just not on your computer because you dont have a mailto: program chosen for IE.

@BigMoosieApr 08.2005 — Put this on the internet and most IE people will still be able to use it. If you want your contact form to be fully compatable you will have to use a cgi script or something similar, i suggest you use formmail: http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html

Success!
