I have a site that is currently hosted on Yahoo and they do not support cgi or coldfusion. I am lookinf for a simple way to take data from a form and send it via email. Any suggestions. Here is a link to the form


Thanks in advance for the help
 
Unless you just use a Mailto link, you will need to move to a host that has some form of server side support.

johnwm is right anything but the mailto link requires some kind of server-side language to support it.

If you choose to use the mailto link, bear in mind that it makes use of the client's installed mail application. and if they don't have one or its not configured, the email does not get sent.

A johnwm said you might want to find a host that supports something. PHP, ASP, Coldfusion, anything at all.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Suggest you read the referred page carefully - the form action is an ASP page, so you are relying totally on server side scripting.
