Hi All,

I am looking into writing a HTML e-mail template for Outlook which will be used for getting feedback from employees within our organisation.

Can anyone suggest a means of doing this? The FORM would probably need to contain TEXT, RADIO, SELECT, CHECKBOX, TEXTAREA items...pretty much all FORM items that are available then :)

What would I use to retrieve the info? (ie: what do I put in the ACTION tag??)

All help appreciated

Many thanks
Tony

To email a form, the action should be:

<form action=&quot;mailto:yourEmail@yourdomain.com&quot;>

You won't be able to control the look of the emial too much and the user will receive a warning upon submission making sure they feel good about sending the data via email. You have a lot more options with asp... Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

I've never worked with outlook, but I'd think you would have a lot more luck with asp than straight HTML. ASP can be used for quite a lot. Like I said, setting the form's action to &quot;mailto:...&quot; will probably not get you the results you desire. If not, then try posting a question in the asp forum: forum333 Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

I posted a way to sending a lot of various stuff (form contents) via the mailto link at
Thread215-463122
which is in this forum, titled &quot;mail a form&quot;

Cheers,
