Please can you help. I have developed an HTML form that works on my home PC but not on my company intranet. On the intranet when you hit the submit button it opens a blank new message addresed to the recipient rather than submitting the form data.

I have been advised that the problem might be because at work mail is handled by MS Outlook and an Exchange server rather than Outlook Express and a POP server. Armed with this information I am now out of my depth.

If any solution involes a script I would prefer it to be client side and VBScript.

Thanks in advance.

What are you using for a webserver and web development software?

what your going to do if your running IIS/Frontpage is diffreent from what you would do for Apache/Frontpage or even Apache/Dreamweaver.

My web server is an NT server and I have developed the form in straight HTML using notebook.

Stu -

Now please do not take this the wrong way... but stop trying to act tough and writing code by hand. There is no need too! Use the tools of trade. Saying you can code by hand tells most people one of two things.

1. My job is boring and I have time to burn.
2. I hate my job and I like to waste the company’s time and money.

If you were to at least open up front page you could use the FP extensions built into IIS and use those to process your form.

I use notepad too... but that's for strictly doing quick edits, our missing so much by not using such tools as FP.
