Javascript to handle mailto: forms

[carmo]

I would really appreciate help on this one.

I have created a HTML form that has a mailto: as the action so that the form results are e-mailed to someone. I used the enctype="text/plain", but I would like to use JavaScript (if possible) to make the output of the e-mail message like nicer than ("fieldname = value&quot. Does anyone have any experience in this? THANK YOU.

You can't you really should use some server side code for this.

carmo - like ggriffit said - there is no way to format a form when using MAILTO as the action. All form data is sent openely in emails (and the user is warned by an automatic pop-up). All of this just says you should REALLY look into a server-side solution (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, CGI Script). Good Luck!
