Forms in Dreamweaver

[synergydesigner]

Hi everyone...

I am new to the web publishing and designing thing, so I think this is a pretty simple thing if I had any idea of what I am doing.

I have a form set up in dreamweaver MX... simple form... and I want the viewer to fill it out and when they hit submit, I want that information to be sent to an email address... so I can view the information and answer them.

This is what I have so far... I totally made up the action line, and I get the error that is can't be found... Help Please!!! Thanks!

<form action="mailto:info@synergy-designstudio.com" name="form1" onSubmit="MM_validateForm('textfield','','R','textfield2','','R','textfield3','','R','textfield4','','RisEmail ','textfield5','','R','textfield6','','R','textfield7','','R','textfield8','','R');MM_goToURL('paren t','info@synergy-designstudio.com');return document.MM_returnValue">

To get your form to work you simply need to add these items immediately after the 'action' within the <form> tag.

method="get" enctype="text/plain"

The only thing to be careful of is that you will be reliant upon the mail client of the customer.
