Re: help with dreamweaver and email

ok in that case you have a few options open to you:

1) the traditional mailto: note this doesn't work unless the user has dedicated email software. AOL users willl think your site is junk.

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="mailto:someone@$nailmail.com" ENCTYPE="text/plain">
<!-- your form here -->
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear">
</FORM>

2) Javascript processing:

Doesn't work for users with javascript disabled (about 10%)

3) Borrow someone elses php processing: see link below, second post, someone offering to handle low volume email.
