    I am slow at learning. I have a basic order form for my website. I have everything in place the way I want it. However, I have been very unsuccessful at the submission to my email address. Basically, this is a CD (music) order form. There is an area for the users personal information and an area where the user will type a qty in for each cd they want. The form automatically updates 'onchange the total cost with each selection. Validation codes are also in place. All I need to do now is have the form sent to my email address which is joydrummer@bellsouth.net. As it is..I have the Action=mailto:joydrummer@bellsouth.net...and all it does is open yahoo mail with nothing in the body. Yahoo mail is not even my default. I would also like to be able show a confirmation of order page once they have hit submission in case they want to print it for their records. No money is to be exchanged via the web. If this makes any sense at all please help if you are willing.

    Thanks,
    RH

    You will need to write a PHP script to make your form working. "Action=MAILTO" only works if user have an email application. Please let me know if you need help with this :)
