Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
I'm trying to process three consecutive text areas
(3 different questions for the user to answer). Without using a CGI
Script, how can I process these forms, via email, with only one submit button ?
Thanks,
Answer:
You should be able to do this using the common mailto. Here's how you'd do it:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="mailto:yours@yoursite.com?subject=test
mail?body=this is the message" ENCTYPE="text/plain" NAME="mailer">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="" NAME="first">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="" NAME="second">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="" NAME="third">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
Thanks,

Answer:
This isn't really a web development question, but is rather more of a
troubleshooting question. To fix your problem, you need to go to the Tools menu item on MSIE, then Internet Options, then the Advanced tab. Go down to Multimedia and make sure that "Play Animations in Web Pages" is selected (checked). Close and restart your browser and you should be set!

This is the situation.
NOTE: 2 samples of a request, responce and explanations are located on the bottem of this email
an example situation As a reseller of movies for another company that dropships the movies for me I am creating a web site with a form that sends a request to the vendors website to check the availability of a movie(with ACTION=GET) the vendors site returns results in the format shown below. What i want to do is four things.
First, I would like to record all requests made to the site. second, I want to parse the results into a page in a user friendly format. Third, I would like to make it that if the site recognizes if the STATUS is OK or NA and to tell the user if its available or not Fourth, if possible I would like to show the user all the searches that are available that that user has made.
What approach do I take.

Answer:
I would go with a Perl script, that you could customize anyway you want it to look and feel. If you not familiar with Perl , there are a lot of scripts out there that will do what you are asking.
You can find such scripts at:
http://www.scriptsearch.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/ and http://www.scriptsearch.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/Database_Management/
Some are free to use or cost as much as $3000.00.
I hope that helps you!
