SENDING FORM RESULTS THRU EMAIL

[rry2k]

Hi,

We just changed the server that hosts our website from UNIX to NT. I have forms that worked before that don't now. I tried using JavaScript from a book with mailto but all I get is the outlook dialog without the form results. I received an email from the author saying that this no longer works with IE5 and recommended I use CGI. My first question is: does cgi work with NT and second if so, does someone have a piece of code they can share to accomplish this.

Thanks..Russ

CGI works with IIS and NT but I would suggest taking a better route. CGI was good when that was the only option. Now we have Java Servlets/JSP, PHP, and ASP. All of which are better suited for Server-side tasks then CGI ever was. If you search thru this forum then you will find some good links on setting up email in an ASP page. Here is a thread we just finished in the Servet/JSP forum on email in JSP pages: thread695-116851.

As always, post back if you have any more questions. Wushutwist
