real_illusions Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 you need some server side scripting to do that, like php to process the information typed in a form and to send the emaillook around on google for"php email scripts" and you'll find a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott100 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 mailto relies on the user having an email program installed on their machine like outlook etc, if you don't have one then you cant use mailto. Even if you do have outlook etc it is very unstable.I would recommend using a server side language to achieve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopheles Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Sorry. I realized this, I just used the closest HTML code you could to achieve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
