Hello,
I have created a form and when the user clicks on the Submit button the email client installed on the machine pops up(outlook) asking for the name, email etc. This is beacuase I have used "mailto:" in the program. Is there any way where it is possible to avoid this pop up. I mean when the user clicks on the Submit button the user would be taken to a another page and in turn the form filled would be emailed to me.

Thank you.

use a server side language to handle your forms, and use a smtp (out going email) server. Figure out what server side languages your host supports. CGI PHP ASP ASP.NET JSP are your options.

If your server supports PHP, there's a nice mailer that Pyro made; located here. (http://www.webdevfaqs.com/php.php#mailer) ;)

Thank you so much. I am new to the server side language field though it is old. Can you tell me as to which one(language) is the best to go with.

I will try it out using PHP and I will post any queries I have accordingly. Thanks again.
