Solve : IE and Forms?

Answer»

I recently did a quick form for a friend, and used mailto: as the action in the form. Not too elegant, but should work ok, right? Well works great with firefox in both Windows XP and Madriva Linux, but will not fill the form information using Internet Explorer.

Anybody have any idea what is wrong here?

Bill.I'd recommend not using a mailto for a form, even though it may be possible. Its just not a good idea, unless you're absolutely sure that all your VISITORS have a mail client installed and are comfortable with SHARING their email address with you. (I wouldn't)
Use a php program to SEND the form for you. www.phpbuilder.net has several form mailers available for free.

I didn't notice anything wrong with your code, but I can't see the whole code either. You may want to insert a larger snippet from your code so I can see if there's something else wrong with it. If you don't mind, show us everything from to .Fair enough, here you go! His SERVER doesn't support PHP otherwise, I agree. Obviously there's a IE problem, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why.

Check your internet explorer settings.... It worked fine in mine. I'm using IE7Did it post the information into your mail client? That's where the problem lies for me. It opens the mail client, but the body is blank.

Thanks for our help so far.

BillYes, it posts just fine and emails right away.
What version of IE do you have?I have tried it with both IE6 and IE7 on numerous machines, and can't get it to post the information to the email. Its just blank in the body.Re-wrote and re-hosted using PHP. No problems. Should have done it right the first time anyway.

Thanks for the help,

Bill
