this is old fashion.Its better to use a free email form script in your site.

 

try this:

<form name="frm" method="post" action="" onSubmit="ddd()">   
  <textarea name="dd">adsfasdf</textarea>   
  <input type="submit" value="Send">   

  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">   
  <!--   
  function ddd(){   
  var xx=document.frm.dd.value   
  frm.action="mailto:youremail@domain.com?Subject=abcd&body=" + xx;   
  }   
  //-->   
  </SCRIPT>   
</form>

Code (markup):

 

hey imtwwo i typed in that code in substitute for my code and it didnt work
so still my form data doesnt show up in the email i know its old fashioned but can anyone help me do it this way?

 

Many of the email servers will strip out forms or mess up your scripts.
It's best to keep it simple basic html and use the email to get them to
click on your site or email address.
Just like an ad on CL.
I just finished 2 html emails for a company that uses a high end online service and
they definately recommend to keep it simple not even body tags.

 

emails barely support all CSS standards, much less form scripts, just wont work and it wont work across the mlutiple email passwords. agreed with above you should be putting your form captcha on your site and the email just getting people there

when coding this, or paying someone to code it, whichever.. make sure they use OLD SCHOOL coding ""tables, font tags, etc"" all email browser compatible and stay away from crazy css (margins dont work, floats dont work)

tables are the way to go with basic html

cheers

 

Absolutely mickey,
It may seem like an extra step in the marketing process but, think of it as qualifying the prospect.
You know if they click they are interested. Keep massaging your msg to them that's the only way
to find what works for you and your market.
