    Hi guys,

    Im back with more forms questions, given up on mailto version as for some
    reason doesnt work on my laptop. even when up loaded and all instructions followed.

    SO tried using btopenworld's cgi .

    [code:1:ff89e10d33]<form method="post" action="http://www.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/userform.cgi">


    <!--The title and URL of the form will be listed at the top of the
    e-mail-->


    <input type="hidden" name="products"
    value="www.btinterent.com/sirdragon/noframesventure/products.htm">
    <!--this is the forms url page-->

    <!--Specify the e-mail address to which data from the form should be
    sent-->

    <input type="hidden" name="SendMailTo"
    value="[email protected]">

    <!--Specify the acknowledgement page to be seen by customers who have
    sent in the form-->

    <input type="hidden" name="redirect"
    value="http://www.btinternet.co.uk/sirdragon/noframesventure/thankyou.htm">[/code:1:ff89e10d33]

    got all this set up etc and when i try it guess what.......yup doesnt work
    argggg.

    this is the url for the page I am testing
    http://www.sirdragon.btinternet.co.uk/noframesventure/products.htm

    even the reset isnt working so I am guessing i have missed something rather crucial.

    could you please have a look at the source code and see if you can make
    sense of it.

    cheers(i hope)

    Martin

    You must have more to the above HTML as its incomplete.


    Works OK for me with this simple form

    [code:1:ee18fa1ef6]<form method="POST" name="email" action="http://www.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/userform.cgi">
    <input type="hidden" name="SendMailTo" value="[email protected]">
    <p><input type="text" name="text_box1" size="20"></p>
    <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="Reset"></p>
    </form>[/code:1:ee18fa1ef6]
