Submit and Reset Buttons

[KJBen]

Hi all,

How can I make my submit button email me? There doesn't seem to be an option.

Thanks

you need to add it in the form tag, in the action eg :

<form action=&quot;mailto:me@mysite.com&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
</form>

not the submit button. Regards

Thanks mate.

Will that automatically launch an email program?
If it does, isn't there a way it can send the data to my email without launching, for eg, Outlook Express?

 

[KJBen]

Yep, thanks for that.

I've just tried it and it works. Only thing is that it launches an E-mail program. How can I make the Submit button send the details of the form to my E-mail (or by other means) without launching an E-mail program?

Cheers

When I do this to make it E-mail to me and I check the HTML it says &quot;mailto:me@mysite.com&quot; twice. Is this supposed to happen or should I delete one of these mailto's.

Here this is what the HTML looks like. Am i doing something wrong?
method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;&quot;mailto:me@mysite.com&quot; &quot;mailto:me@mysite.com&quot; &quot;&quot;>
Thanks for your help.

maybe i should have refreshed the page before i posted the message which is basically the same as your question. I beleive that the mailto option still opens outlook express... I am in the same ditch as you KJBen...

Could somebody plaese help me.

I've talked to somebody and I think the E-mail thing is out of the question. Can anyone confirm this?

Is there a way in dreamweaver to send the information that was in the form to another page on my website? Is it possible?

Feedback would be great, thanks

KJBen, You need PERL/CGI top do what you want it to do...but for that you need permission from you're webhost...

Everythingmanual, why do you have teo &quot;mailto:&quot;?? Are you trying to send to it two different email address?? I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
