Mailing a form via submit?

[Marupa]

How would I mail a form's info to my email when they hit submit, but also not use someone else's mailer?:confused:
I want it to be a very simple, all text email with values like: Q1=A Q1t=Why not? etc, please help!

This would require MS Outlook, which will be opened by IE when the user clicks the submit button.

Note, this method is very outdated and restricting to users.

<form name="form_name" action="mailto:you@your.com" method="post">
...
</form>

Regards.

that's close to what I want, but not quite. I don't want it 'from' someone, just to my email w/ a defined subject. I don't need any verification who it's from.

Want to save information from a form to a file or email it to yourself? You can't use HTML for this, you need a server side languages. There are many such languages that you can use, like PHP, ASP, ASP.net, CGI-Perl, JSP, ColdFusion, ect.

First, find out what your host supports and then you can learn the apporpriate language.

If your just starting out I suggest making your post in the CGI-Perl forum.

Thank you,
