Their email address would have to be in the form action after mailto:. Since you can't use PHP, you might be able to use Javascript to get the results you want. I haven't looked into Javascript's mailing and form related abilities enough to help you with that, sadly.

its been a while Thoul hope all is well.

My problem is not getting all fields submitted when i try my friends link html code out.

I have no access to .php as this is a free forum hosts so hence why i,m using html.

If you look at this page

http://testhtml.myfastforum.org/final.html

I am trying to make a friends link work using the persons default mail program example yahoo,google.

The problem i am having is only the subject shows and the body, the comments and the email address do not show.

What i would like is that when they enter their details the to field is all ready submitted as well as the comments.

The code i,m using is this.

Code:

<form post="" action="mailto:?subject=check this site out&BodyText;Comments; method=" name="eMailer">
<h2 align="center">Tell your friends about Our Site!</h2>
<center> <br />
<br />
<table width="50%" border="0">
</table>
<table width="50%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="38%"><strong>Friends Email Address:</strong></td>
<td width="62%"><input type="text" size="40" name="FriendsEmail" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2"><center><em>Their email address, e.g. username@domain.com</em></center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="38%"><strong>Your Email Address</strong></td>
<td width="62%"><input type="text" size="40" name="YourEmail" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="center" colspan="2"><center><em>Your email address, e.g. username@domain.com</em></center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="38%"><strong>Subject</strong></td>
<td width="62%"><input type="text" value="Check out this page @ testhtml.myfreeforum.org" size="40" name="SubJect" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="38%"><strong>Comments</strong></td>
<td width="62%"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2"><textarea cols="58" name="Comments" rows="6">Leave your message here </textarea></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Send the Info!" /></center> <br />
</form>

Anyhelp would be great on this one, if i simple put Mailto as the action = then i get the comments and email address all in the body but in basic none readable form.
