I'm not that hot with html.. but you will need cgi access on your server at AOl won't you? As you won't have fp ext.

If this is a order form.. should it not have security on it as well? I belive that is SSL?

Don't AOL have a form script of their own? Check out their member section...

Sorry can't think of anything else.

tinaalice is right, you will need cgi access. Check out online shopping carts - they can do what you're looking for. One program you might want to check out is PerlShop. It's a free program and you can find it at for tech stuff, fixes, hacks etc..
for updates, PS Office PS DBI versions

has the early version and has the newest version. It can be a little tricky at first to set up but it's a great little shopping cart.

Hope this helps!
 
I did somethiing similiar back in the days of using aol and it worked fine. Obviously you do not need cgi access because your form action is a mailto (so others understand) Talk woth aol, possibly aol's spam control blocks email without a subject line. DeZiner

Aol does allow for forms. Not real easy to do and not secure forms so you don't want to be taking people's credit card or other secure info.

Come chat with me at bunni.com and I can offer you some options faster than I can type them here.
