Hi,

I'd like to have a mail form that works in a text browser. Right now I just link to my ISP's mail script, and it works great in an ordinary browser. But when I test it with links (Mac OS X port of Lynx) I just get an internal server error.

Any guesses as to what the problem may be? Or alternatively, a recommendation of a free script that would do the job?

I'm a newbie and cannot write my own scripts yet by any means.

Thanks,

Jessi

Did you use any Javascript? Post your form here. We may have an idea.

Here it is, email address changed to protect the innocent. No Javascript, very simple:

<form action="http://www.mydomain.org/cruzio-cgi-bin/post-email" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="emailto" value="address@mydomain.org">
<input type="hidden" name="nextpage" value="../mailthanks.html">
<input name="subject" value="message to jessibird" type="hidden">
<p>name:<br><input type="text" name="Name" size=32></p>
<p>email address (if you want a reply):<br /><input type="text" name="email" size=32></p>
<p>message:<br />
<textarea name="Comments" rows=12 cols=36></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="send that message!">
<input type="reset" value="start over"><br /></p>
</form>

thanks for your help!
