Hi, can you be more specific about the problem please?

From what i can see, you have a form which allows every user to send an email to the webmaster. Basically, the form must have a process page like php to send the data to the email address of the webmaster. I don't understand why it will open outlook express. Outlook express opens only when you are using the mailto: command, also, the user must have outlook installed if you want it to open.

Paste your code, i'll try to fix it for you :D

Did you ever get this problem fixed? I'm having the same issue.

I'm using a very simple mailto: webform at work and everyone has Outlook open anyway, but rather than just send the form data, some people are having a blank e-mail opened up with nothing more than my e-mail address in the To line. Outlook 2007 settings are all the same across the company (set by procedures when people log in) so I can't figure out why some people have issues and the rest are fine. Any ideas?

I am very very very very very new to HTML I would like to learn how to send forms to e-mails but I dont want Outlook to come up and ask them if they want to send it. I just want it sent to my e-mail!

The mailto:<address> is a mail link. not a submission routine for a form. typically, this would be in a link, not a form element. I'm surprised the above example did anything at all.

To send email using a form you will need to have some script on the page, either in the page as javascript or as a server side language to process the posted data. look up php or asp if you want to do it yourself, but its more likely whatever package you have installed for a website will have the ability to deal with it.

Yes, I have fixed this problem as well using PHP. It was very simple, all you have to do is store the names of the fields, send the form to another page (EX: mail.php) then use the following code:

<?php
$firstname = $_POST['FirstName'];
$lastname = $_POST['LastName'];
$age = $_POST['Age'];
$email = $_POST['EMAIL'];

$message .= "First name: \n";
$message .= $firstname;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Last name: \n";
$message .= $lastname;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Age: \n";
$message .= $age;

mail("youremail@email.com", "Subject: subject", $message, "From: $email");
Header("Location: index.html");
?>

The problem is that you need a server to host a CGI Program to send. I am currently working on a project (www.starsforcollege.com) that will be up in a few days that uses an extensive HTML Form. I used the CGI Progam that came with the host (BlueHost - they are fantastic) and it worked seamlessly. The response you get in your inbox is a bit messy, but thats what diligent webmasters are for (plus it's a good way to keep some small but steady money coming in.)
