Quite an easy one for those who know !! :)

I have put a simple form on my page but with

form method="post" action="mailto:any@any.com"
etc

how can I encrypt it so when someone uses the form it doesn't pop up with the NOT ENCRYPTED box ??

Please Help :(

Thanks in advance

I guess if your ISP supports SSL you use your application to adress that.

In front page you simply tick this function for the pages you want secure stuf and thats it!!

Hi,

Short answer is "Don't use mailto for forms". While its a quick fix, its just not the best method. A server side script is a much better answer. See this article for further information about the "evil" of mailto for forms.

[isolani.co.uk...]

But if you have no recourse and have to use mailto for the form, I don't know of a solution to avoid the "not encrypted" message received in IE.

HTH
