I am creating a website for selling DVD's, I am trying to insert a text feild where the user can type in a request and a submit button that sends the data in that field straight to my email address. However I am using the mailto tag and everytime I click submit outlook opens. Is there anyway of making the information send directly to my email address or storing the information anywhere without involving the user any further? an example of how to do this would be of great help
Thanks

I'm not sure if you can do this just using HTML. I have something similar set up on my site, and to do it I used PHP. You might have to use something like PHP too.

Actually you can do this in HTML...or atleast I have found a way to do it.
I use a site called http://www.response-o-matic.com
This site allows you to use their site to send information from your website to your email VIA them.
If you need help figuring out the html to do this, which is on this site by the way, just hit me up on Aol Instant Messenger as wtchunkster.

Well, I don't know what to say, as I have used Geocities, and used HTML to just type in the code I needed to get an email sent to me that was submitted by my users.

It can only be done serverside, without opening an email program.

search google for remote hosted cgi or php script. Many have these.
