Titolo: Need Help With Feedback Form

	I would like to have a feedback page with a form that will send me the
information in an e-mail when the person clicks Submit.
	I have found that with Netscape all you need to do to have it e-mail you
the info is have your e-mail address for the Form Action.
	The only problem is the Internet Explorer will open up a New E-Mail
Message when you click on Submit.
	So, I was wondering if there is a CGI or VB script or something that will
send the info to me via e-mail when the person clicks submit.

	BTW: Check out my site. I am 15 years old and I have a pretty good site
that I have gotten a couple of awards for and I average about 300-400 hits
a day.

I assume you are using a mailto: form. MSIE does not support these
(yet?). The only way to get your form info from MSIE users is to use a
CGI script. Your ISP may provide a general form script (Demon does).

********************************
Hi there,
I've posted this answer to 2 other questions, so I'm just emailing you
this one!:
**********************************
I'm not an HTML master.....yet!, but I've just cracked forms so I can
offer some advice.
When I was experimenting I tried something with this format (except with
my address!):
<FORM ACTION=mailto:"
webm...@jazzboy.demon.co.uk
" METHOD="POST">
This will email you the contents of the form *as an email attachment*.
The email itself will tell you that you've been sent the contents of the
form and its been saved in your attachments folder. You can even address
it to: 
al...@jazzboy.demon.co.uk
.
*But*, the attachment file will contain the data from the form in its
bare state. This means instead of apostrophies for instance it will have
a strange code (27%?) and colons become = signs. Its a mess!
What you need is a little program to turn the code into something
usable.
Fortunately Demon have such a program. Its a CGI script that resides on
the server. If you use this for your form:
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailform" METHOD="get">
then the form will carry out the action, which is to run the mailform
script. This will email a nice readable message to
webm...@jazzboy.demon.co.uk
You need to make sure that you either have a mailbox set up for
webmaster, or that it goes to your main mailbox by default.
You can have a look at the code in action at my web site, URL below.
Hope that helps.

This method is more 'universal' also. MS Internet Exploiter does not
support mailto: forms. Nice one, thanks Bill... :-(

They seem to be gradually getting a hold on the problem.
