ok, not shure if this is the right place to post this.. but anyway's.

I'm having problems with making a form on my friends website this (http://www.lilliput.ca/orderform.html) is the form.
the problem is, once you hit submit, it opens up your outlook (or whatever our external email program is...) and there is no atached things or message in the outlook window to send.. does anybody know how to program it so that it just sends the filled in info straight to the adress as soon as you hit submit?

(http://www.htmlbasix.com/forms.shtml is the site I used to generate the form)

any Idea's?

(or did my mispellings and bad grammer confuse you of my situation....)

cheers :)

If you know any programming, etc. I would suggest using .cgi

Heres a basic link to get you started:
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/cgi/processingforms.html#TheHTML

That way, you just click submit, and the web page does the whole email thing for you, without even needing to open the customer's email client.

You can use that create anything you could in html, because it is basically a program that outputs html for you, but also allows you to read in the input from html.

There is an easier way, use a ready made email form.
I know next to nothing about programming, but I was able to come up with this (http://www.cginternet.net/contact/contact.html) for my website.
