ichiro,

I'm not an expert, but I think the answer will lie in your CGI script. I'd suggest posting the code here.

I meant the code from your CGI script: readSend.cgi. We can get the form code from your webpage.

Sorry, no. I hate those apps. Won't use them.

I'd like someone else to chime in here with their opinion, but I think you need to ask Cox how to fix your problem. Or use another script altogether, like FormMail.

Good luck.

You might try using hiddin fields and put the formatting in it but thats if the cgi supports it. Hope that helps. :D

can i make it so that when somebody fills out the form, it will send it to two email addresses? would i need to add another line or edit this line <INPUT type="hidden" name="TO" value="ichiro829@cox.net">< ?

I think you would add a comma and then another address like so:
<INPUT type="hidden" name="TO" value="ichiro829@cox.net,somebody@host.com">
Hope that helps. :D

Try this.

<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="firstperson@host.com,secondperson@host.com">

or this

<INPUT type="hidden" name="recipient" value="firstperson@host.com,secondperson@host.com">

And if that does not work tell me. And don't forget to change 'firstperson' and 'secondperson' to your address. Hope that helps. :D

can i make it so that when somebody fills out the form, it will send it to two email addresses?You really need to read the documentation for the CGI script you are using to be able to answer this. If we can't see the script all we can do is guess.

Or use another script altogether, like FormMailPlease don't recommend anything from Matt's Script Archive. They are buggy and insecure. Even Matt no longer recommends his scripts.

<INPUT type="hidden" name="TO" value="ichiro829@cox.net">If this is how your script specifies recipients then you need to use a different script. It will allow spammers to use your site to send any number of messages to whomever they choose.
