form post method mailto:

[dcthuggy]

Hello everyone. I am having a problem with my form. I created a form for change of address for our school. I have created the form and place this in my html code. <form id="coaform" name="coaform" method="post" action="mailto:xxx@ccc.org">

When I tried out my form and have it mailed to me as a test, it sends me this .att file what am i doing wrong. I want the feedback to come to me just like I have my form. What am I doing wrong. I havent created a form in years so can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

could it possibly to do with the server that the e-mail is being sent from? i.e. the server your site is hosted on?

I aren't certain - I aren't the greatest with forms - but I guess it could be...

The only other thing I can think of is that it's something to do with the program you're using to read the sent e-mail... :confused:

Modern browsers don't support using mailto: with forms and those that do usually send in a fairly unreadable format. Either switch to a plain link to use mailto: or use a server side form2mail script if you want to use a form.
