Alternatives to scripting!

[gussy1]

I'm quite new to web design and want to add a form to my site so users can enter their name and mail address. I will then mail them a username and passwird. That's fine but my ISP will not let me use servlets, ASP or any CGI scripting! Is there any way I can have a forms details mailed to me direct from the client like a mailto:([red]all-the-form-details[/red])

Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Thanks

Yes, there is an easy way to do this. You don't need any scripting at all, but it is not secure. If you can live with that, here it is.
Make a form tag, like so ...

<form action=&quot;mailto:address@website&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;text/plain&quot; name=&quot;FormName&quot;>

Using method="post" sends everything on the form directly to the email address. The enctype="text/plain" makes it all readable to a human.

Options are to put more in the mailto: address, such as

?subject=formsubject

and you could add a JavaScript function to verify that mandatory fields of the form have been filled in.
