Form question

[magickfirebird]

I am building my website a little at a time. Right now I am working on a form to allow people to send an email to me. Currently the only areas to be entered is their name, email address, and their question/comment. When I hit submit it does bring up my email program so that an email may be sent. In the body of the email it shows: name=(the name entered), email=(the email address entered), and submit=Send. As you can see it doesn't move the content of the comment text area to the email. Would you please look over the code for me? Thank you.

 

<form action="MAILTO:daphne@familycreativeart.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<br /><br />Name:

<br /><input type="text" name="name" />* required

<br /><br />E-mail Address:

<br /><input type="text" name="email" />* rquired

<br /><br />Comment:

<br /><textarea rows="4" cols="50"> </textarea>* required

<br /><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" />

<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" /></form>

Textarea does not have name attribute, its required.

You might want to re-think doing it that way. Putting your email address on a web page is a guarantee that that email address will end up an unusable mess full of spam.

 

You would be better to do a contact form that simple capture the entered information into a file or database; or generates the email on the server side without exposing your email address.
