Forms

[Vertigo]

Why is it that I have a pop-up alert telling me that I'm sending the form using e-mail and that it may reveal your email address? etc. etc. and that I can continue or cancell.

Then, I get an outlook alert. It says that a program is attempting to send a message on my hehalf. I have to agree to it to proceed to send the info.

QUESTION: This is my form. How do I by-pass those alerts by just clicking submit?

I'm using a post action to an email address and a js file to validate the form and redirect the user to a page if the form is filled correctly.

Can this be done without using asp or some other thing?

AFAIK this is not possible as you are using the mailto command, it throughs up this security prompt done by the browser only way around this is to use cgi or some ssl
eg.

<form name="Enquiry" method="post" action="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/something.pl">

if you dont have cgi or ssl hosting try

Hi!

You're using Outlook, so I assume, you use IE too. The two alerts which you want to get rid of, appear due to settings in IE and Outlook. By changing these settings you would no longer have the alerts.

But what, if you are on somebody's site and play around with forms, hit a button and not be alerted???

I would leave it as it is or - better even - to follow 96turnerri's advice, if your server (or a friend's server hosting a script for you) supports such stuff.
