Not a programmer, but want to be able to email a form, have the recipient fill in the blanks and email to my address. Everything I have read relates to a website. Can I do what I want? If so, how do I code it? Thanks for you help. Wally

Actually, Wally, you'll need to use some sort of server-side code. If you don't mind getting a prompt message, you can use this, though:


<form action="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">

I wouldn't use Jona's method, although its the only way to do it without server-side, it wont work for Web Based Mail, which means a LOT of users because that is
Yahoo (in most cases is web based)
Hotmail
Lycos
AOL (Its not technically webmail, but thsee types of forms wont work for it)

Like I said, I would use a server-side code instead.

What is a server side-code? I am using Acrobat, if that makes a difference. I really appreciate your help. Thanks. Wally

Server-side is processing that takes place on the server's end, and is sent to the client (you) as raw HTML (and client-side code). PHP, CGI/Perl, JSP, ASP.. Those are server-side languages. They process data sent through HTTP headers and send it back to the clients.
