Sending a Form using Post Method

[nielsnorby]

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get a simple form to mail to my email address after it is submitted. I can get it to work if you use Microsoft IE, but not a netscape browser?

Here is a link to the page I have started

Happy Holidays, Niels

This is a very Microsoft / IE specific way of sending a form and isn't recommended (especially Windows and any decent Anti-Virus program may cause a warning box to pop up that may scare your customers).

The usual way is via a cgi-bin script that is designed for this purpose.

The first place to look is on the support pages of your Hosting Service Provider as they most likely have one in place for you, or will have one ready for you to install.

If not then look at http://www.scriptarchive.com/nms.html where nmsFormmail is available for download. This is a replacement for the older formmail which is now considered to have too many security problems.
