I have made a form and have a submit button at the bottom of it, but instead of posting something or sending infor to a server, i want the information emailed to me directly. Here is what i thought i needed.

<FORM METHOD="post"
ACTION="mailto:MYemail@ADDRESS.com"><center>

I do have the submit buttom and the form questions in there as well but i did not post that. When i try and fill out the form, it brings me to my email and the email is blank with no attachments or anything. Its just a plain email and no information is on it. Anyone know what i am doing wrong?

you should use a very basic php program to send your form because many people do not have a default mail client so the form will not work which may be your case. If your host accepts PHP email me at ryan@abectech.com and I will help you get the code together to have your form processed using server side script as opposed to a straight html form. It’s very easy and requires no knowledge outside of html.

Figure out which server side language your server supports. Email them and ask them which they will let you use or check the f.a.q. sheet or something, its either that or get a submit service like responce-o-matic.
