Hi,

Is it possible to use HTML forms in emails ? If so, how?

Thanks/...

Nope -- you'll need to put those on a web server, and link to them within your email.

Actually, you can in email clients which allow you to edit the email source code. If you set Outlook Express up to show the Edit/Source/Preview tabs when sending new mail, you can put your forms within the <div> tags, add your own styling within the <style> tags, all which are already there. Just remember to put the script you need to use to make form work where it needs to be.

Here's what a new email source code looks like from OE:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16414" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV></BODY></HTML>

Looks like a regular html page doesn't it?? LOL I placed my JavaScript for a Drop Down Box between the <head> tags and the <form> between the <div> tags. Worked fine. Not sure if this is what you are interested in. People who receive your email in text form only will have problems. Some JS errors may occur when viewing. Kinda fun to play with.
