I have a problem with my submit button on my form...

[Guest_imported]

Ok, heres the problem. I created a form for Information Request, it has alot of fields including text input areas and check boxes. So naturally, theres going to be a good deal of information that must be sent to me when the person presses the &quot;submite&quot; button. However, through my own testing, i've found that when the user presses submit it does the following: Gives the warning that their e-mail address will be available to the recipiant of the information (which is normal, this should happen), but then, instead of just sending the information that the user inputted into the form fields, it opens up an e-mail box, as if it expects the user to retype all of the information into the email box. what am i doing wrong? at the top of the form code i have the &quot;action=mailto:myscreenname@aol.com&quot; snippet, and i have a submit button at the bottom of the form with the code <input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>... what am i missing? Please someone help me, thanks!

Because you are requesting the form uses the clients email program to generate an email. Use something like formmail.pl (Search at google for Matt's script archive). It is a perl script that is easy to set up. Your form action would then point to the script and the script will send you a nice email with all your form fields. You have to be able to run perl however. Otherwise there are easy solutions for asp and CF. DeZiner
