Hello all, maybe someone can help me...is their anyway to create a guest book with javascript that will allow all the details of a questionaire like: name, address, email, where did you hear about us at, phone number, etc., to be sent to a receipient by email. The problem is that my friend who is hosting one of my sites has not intention of installing any microsoft extensions on his server (MAN DOES HE HATE MICROSOFT) which would allow some of the components in frontpage to work, oh please say someone can help me!!
Thanks for listening.

You should not have any problems doing this,
Please look intoi HTML attribute MAILTO
the syntax is

<form action="mailto:mailaddress@mail.com" enctype="text/plain" method post>

this should email all of the contents in the form to the recipioets.

cheers

Not entirely true surely. I know its just nitpicking and I apologise in advance, but am I not right in thinking that if you have your default mail client set to Hotmail in Internet Options then it should open up a login page for Hotmail?

Yep, works for me with a mailto: it comes up with a box requiring authentication for using passport (your hotmail email address and password) and then opens at compose with To: already filled in.

Yep, if you have a form, if you specify it, it will put the text in the form into the body of your email.

Search me, I don't even know if you can select Yahoo as your default mail client. Said it was just being pedantic!
