I'm still new to javascript and I would appreciate any help.
I'm using the action=mailto:email@com to see if my form works correctly. When I submit the form, instead of sending the form to the email address, it opens a blank email page. Why? Is it because of MSIE 6? Please help!
Here is the script below:
