Hi there,

I am developing a feedback form, and was wondering if anyone has seen or developed a script that sends the form info in an email to a specified recipient? I have done something similar in .ASP, but never in Javascript. Plus I am trying to avoid using CGI.

Any recommendations? Ideas?

Cheers,

Tatlar

sure you can use this, but advice against it since Netscape 4.xx has problems with it.

<form action="mailto:your@mine.com">

but that will only send the form info to what ever address you put in there. it will not bring them to a seperate page when done. if you want to load a page after they push submit then you will need some form of serverside langauge, (asp, php, cgi)

thanks - I don't want them to jump to another page afterwards, so this should do.

if I want to avoid problems with this in Netscape, do you recommend using a server-side language like CGI?

cheers,

yes, as that is the only way.
