Multiple question survey in Outlook

[alex.turchin]

Dear All,

I am trying to set up a multiple choice survey (4 questions, 5 answers
each) that would be delivered in the body of Outlook email. It should
roughly look like this:

---------------------------------------------------
Question 1
[radio-button-1] Answer 1
[radio-button-2] Answer 2
[radio-button-3] Answer 3

Question 2
[radio-button-1] Answer 1
[radio-button-2] Answer 2
[radio-button-3] Answer 3

[Reset-button] [Submit-button]
---------------------------------------------------

By clicking on the [Submit-button] the user would submit the survey
information to an outside website.

I have figured out how to set up HTML forms in the body of Outlook
email using Web Tools (I am using Outlook 2003). Everything works fine
when the user accesses their email from Outlook itself. When the user
accesses their email through our company's Web-based Outlook (Exchange
server 2003, I believe), they also see the radio buttons and the Submit
button. However, when they click on the Submit button, instead of the
original URL, the data gets re-routed to some URL within the company
(e.g. instead of http://www.surveysite.com/survey?submit=Submit+Survey
it is re-routed to
https://exchweb.company.org/exchange/USERNAME/Inbox/survey?submit=Submit+Survey).
The visible result is that another Web Outlook window opens (instead of
the data going where it needs to go).

Any advice on how to get around this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
Alex

What are the attributes in the <form> element?

That is a very good question. Unfortunately I don't know how to view
HTML source of an Outlook message. Is there a way to do it? I have
visited your website http://www.slipstick.com/mail1/html.htm which
advises to right-click to access "View Source" but I can't see that
option on the Right-Click menu [in Outlook 2003].
