NS 4.7x
& IE 5.0 compliant this is :)

I will leave it up to you or someone else to walk through the form tree and append all the needed info.

Man this little snippet of code is giving me tons of neat ideas :)

Hi,

Thanks for this. I can't see where to put this code?

I did try something like this, but I don't see how to collect the form data and when I submit the form, then send the info to a the mailto and then send the page to display the data submited.


It all works fine and dandy, but, I just want to collect all the info by email via the form, then send it to my mock cgi page to display the sumbited data.
