Hi,

I'm trying to create a submittion form and after pressing submit I get a new message dialog box from Outlook and the info entered into the form isn't included. I need this to auto send when the button is pressed.
Thanks alot for the help..Russ

function sendmail(url)
{
var doc = "mailto:"

doc = doc + url;

doc = doc + "?subject=MySubjectText";
doc = doc + "&body=Address: " + form1.address.value;
doc = doc + "%0d";
doc = doc + "Phone: " + form1.phone.value;
window.location.href = doc;
}
</script>

Back at ya Boomerang.
What you gave me worked fine until I added a few lines then it fried.

Heeeelllpppp. I also need the email that I get back to be formatted into seperate lines so I'm not sure if I need a <p> or <br> somewhere.

Thanks..Russ
