Form within email body

[KSiva]

Hi, I wonder if I can send a html form within email body so the guy who receive at the other end, can fill up and submit the form within their email client?

You title should tell you that is not possible.

Using HTML email, this should be perfectly possible.

Hope this helps,

I've done this before, you just have to have the "action" in your form point to somewhere on your web site to be processed.

<form action="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/formprocessor/"[/URL] method="post">

Hope This Helps!

I'm using formmail.asp and though I've set the action to the script on my server as you mention, I'm having a problem with "referers" - the permitted URLs from which the form can be submitted.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

You could send a unique ID to each recipient of the email, stored in a hidden form field. When the form is submitted, you can match the ID with the senders email address, and ignore it if it differs from what you expect.

This will also let you control (and tell) how many times things have been responded to.

Hope this helps,
