I am working on a feedback form and cannot get it to email to the given address. The following is the code I used to mailto:

<form name="feedback" action="mailto:myemail@blank.com"
enctype="text/plain" method="POST">

When I hit submit it opens my email compose page.
Everything else works fine. Also, any suggestions on a "GOOD" beginners javascript book. The one I am using stinks. Thanks for the help.

I would not use mailto: to send form contents. A server side language such as PHP or Perl would be better. If you don't have access to it on your website then you might look for some free services such as Bravenet.

The web site will not be published, it is part of a class assignment. I just need a quick fix so that I can get the form turned in. Thanks for your help.

Hi there try it on the schools computer first or just an older computer with older browsers say 4.
As in mine I have a blank e-mail pop up but on older machines it works fine.
My clients server doesn't allow any server side scripts which is the way to go if you can
