AOL users can't use my form?
Hey ya'll. I was going to make an online database thing but I couldn't figure out how so I did a form that would email its results to my email so I could enter the info into a table. Well, for some reason with any aol user that uses it all I get is a blank email. Why is this happening and how can I fix it. Thanks, Lisa
Here is my form if it helps any: <form method="POST" action="mailto:myemail@yahoo.com"> <p><strong>What would you like to do?</strong></p> <p><input type="radio" name="MessageType" value="Give">Give <input type="radio" name="MessageType" value="Receive">Receive </p> <p><strong>What do you have/need?</strong></p> <p><select name="Subject" size="1"> <option selected>A few things</option> <option>Top-short sleeve</option> <option>Top-long sleeve</option> <option>Pants</option> <option>Shorts</option> <option>Skirt</option> <option>Dress</option> </select> Other: <input type="text" size="24" maxlength="256" name="SubjectOther"></p> <p><strong>Add details here (size,color,etc.):</strong></p> <p><textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="42"></textarea></p> <p><strong>Tell us how to get in touch with you:</strong></p> <table width="319"> <tr> <td>Username:</td> <td><input type="text" size="32" maxlength="256" name="UserEmail"></td> </tr> </table> <table width="356"> <tr> <td>Email:</td> <td><input type="text" size="38" maxlength="256" name="UserEmail"></td> </tr> </table> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Clear Form"></p> </form> |

I've had this problem many times with AOL users. the mailto: doesn't work with them in my experience. You'll have to process and send the form using something like ASP, PHP, or something equivalent. Assuming you are using a server that can handle ASP and CDONTS, use what I attached. I made your form reference the sendForm.asp script by changing the form action. If the form submits I have it redirect the browser to a success.html page. If you don't have the necessary hosting environment (ASP & CDONTS) send me a message and I'll try to help.
