Submitable Form

[DDrowe]

I need to create a form that will capture information and then submit this
information to me in an email. I thought I had it figured out, created the
form, included the SUBMIT button, attached my email to it and when I click it
- nothing happens. The form goes to the next page like it sent it but it
never makes it to its destination. I have checked the link under the submit
button and it is correct. Are there any tricks or nuances that I am missing?

Thanks

David

Sending a form's data to an email address uses one of the following
methods:

1) A server side (asp, asp.NET, PHP etc) script to process the data and
send the email (I recommend this method)
2) FrontPage extensions - the email is included in the form Properties
(and exposed to spammers everywhere in View Source)
3) The forms action attribute is set to mailto:[email protected] (email
address exposed to spammers and, more important, does not work for all
users).

In no case does an email address attached in any way to the submit button
do anything useful - except for spammers looking for email addresses.
