Vista - Forms and WLM

Hi...

I am making a contact form in a webpage using html.
The form is thought to activate the users email software.
He or she will fill out the forms different boxes, click on send and their
mail software appears with the text from all boxes, and they can click on
send to let it fly. But.... no ...

The only thing appearing in the meil is the recipients email address.

If I use the SUBJECT and BODY tags in the form these comes up fine, but any
thing chosen or written in the boxes do not show at all.

What am I missing here?
This is my first attempt to make an contact form....

I'm running Windows Vista Ultima with Windows Live Mail.

I tested it on my Vista laptop, running Windows Vista Home Premium using MS
Office Outlook 2007 and the mail was sent and the contents was complete.

Is there something wrong with WLM?

It has nothing to do with WLM. It has everything to do with you not
understanding the WAY THINGS WORK©. A simple PHP script will enable you to
all of that and much more. Form Mail is wonderful. You can do it in PHP,
ASP, CGI, etc... You can NOT do it in plain *HTML effectively. Do you need
help? If so then let us know what it is running on and someone will give you
a hand.

hi....

Sorry about my shortcomings... :-(
they will surface again in the future. That's how it is!

I do not know squat about PHP. Used the command INCLUDE in a website once
earlier on.

I use Dreamweaver to make my pages.
My domain support PHP...

So how come things work fine in Outlook 2007, and not in WLM?

Bah... That's easy enough. The email address here works so you can reply to
it and if you want I'll code you up a quick and dirty PHP form that people
can use.

After you see how easy it is you'll be able to custom make your own or make
any edits to it that you want. It is really quite simple.

You can write a form using plain HTML! Of course it is not the most
user-friendly method, but it works.

If you use "form action mailto:name@xxxxxx", when the user presses
submit, it will open its e-mail client and he just has to send the e-mail.
However, using the languages described is a much more effective way of
handling forms.

If you are not willing to learn a new language so as to handle your form,
try something like http://www.free-cgi.com.

P.S.: Hope this message won't appear twice, but I sent it yesterday at at
this time it hasn't arrive on the server. Hope this now works
