    Okay, I've set the fields up and everything in my html form as I want... my question is how/where do I sumbit it too?

    Currently I have it set as "action=mailto:" but viewing the soruce of other pages I see "Action=submit.php" - what does this mean? Any help is appreciated.

    Forms require some sort of script (javascript/php/asp/etc.) to process the data that's submitted.

    There's a decent (better than I could post here) explanation on this you can check out here http://www.web-source.net/web_development/forms.htm

    HTH,
    Scott

    yes, action=pages.php is the script that you want to process the form data..

    I always leave it empty, like action="" and by default, will submit to the same page...
