ARGHHH HTML

[Sanby]

I am having the most annoying time trying to get the email form to work, and guess what, it's not. WHAT THE HECK?????

It looks right and when I fill it out and hit submit its says that it is sending an email but I don't get the email in my inbox.

Can anyone help?

Are you using CGI or mail to?
what is the form header code in your html?

 

[Sanby]

It's mailto.

Mailto... but that's not a lot of information to work with.

Can you show us some source code?

Here is the correct html tag for that:

form action="mailto:youremail@youremail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain"

The above of course are enclosed with the < > tags. You may want to encode your email addy so the bugs and bots don't harvest your address. Mail to is not very secure so if your provider allows CGI you should go that direction. Also make sure you ended your form with the /form tag or it won't work.

K, I am gonna run over the code again. Unfortunatly right now I can't use cgi but hopefully In the future I will be able to.
