Probably JavaScript

Although I don't actually use the 100% certified "bad practice" of using the <form action=""> attribute to send directly to emails via client-side

Try separating the email addresses with semicolons and spaces, or a server-side script perhaps?

That would be a server-side script (or at least some extensive JavaScript) then, can't help you on this (no-one can) unless you give us more information

ok when i last knew it was some thing like this to be able to send an e-mail to more than one e-mail address

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="" value="" />

but i can't remember what the rest of it was.

We already know what a hidden field is (thanks for the lesson, Mrs. Wormwood!)

</sarcasm>

That isn't really of much help

why not just submit your form to an ASP script that will process your form and mail it to the email addresses you specify? Are you stuck using the HTML mailto: ? IF that's the case them just type action="mailto:me@mydoman.com,someone@elsewhere.com" in the form tag.

*sigh*

VERY quickly then:

Code:

   
   <form id="frmMail" method="post" action="sendMail.asp" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   
   <!-- Rest of your form elements here, such as from email, to email, subject, body, etc... -->
   
   <input type="hidden" name="hidEmail" id="txtEmail1" value="email-at-domain-dot-com;email2-at-domain2-dot-com" />
   
   </form>

SendMail.asp

Code:

   
   <%@PAGE Language="VBScript" %>
   <%
   
   Dim strMessage, strFrom, strTo, strSubject
   
   strMessage = Trim(Request.Form("txaMessage"))
   strTo = Trim(Request.Form("hidEmail"))
   strFrom = Trim(Request.Form("txtFrom"))
   strSubject = Trim(Request.Form("txtSubject"))
   
   strTo = Replace(strTo, "-at-", "@")
    strTo = Replace(strTo, "-dot-", ".")
 
 Dim objCDO
   
   Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
   
   With objCDO
   .To = strTo
   .From = strFrom
   .TextBody = strMessage
   .Subject = strSubject
   .Send()
   End With
   
   Set objCDO = Nothing
   
   Response.Write("Message sent successfully to " & strTo)
   %>

sounds like you're probably using FormMail which I personally despise but if you need it then you need it. There should exist a ton of documentation that came with the script.
