This is odd....I've been building databases for forms to dump into and forms that email all the informatin to the owner, the person submitting, etc.....but all using PHP...either I'm tired or an idiot...but a client called with regards to a form for their site and they do not have PHP on their server. They want the info emailed to them. With PHP I have no problem....I can't remember how to do it with just a plain HTML form?

1. How do I get the info that is submitted to be emailed to a specific email address

2. What should the form tag be??

Thanks in advance....I'm going searching on the Net...but i find this way more helpful.

Cheers,
 
This is a horrible alternative, definately check if perl is supported so you can use formmail at minimum, but straight HTML goes like this:

<form action=&quot;mailto: you@somewhere.com&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot;>

This method sends warnings, etc to the user in a plain email that they can edit.
