Form question

Received a blank email from a form

[Blue_Tetra]

Hello all,

I tried to make a form and the content of the form (someone fill out the form) is supposed to be submitted to my email address. But I could not make it happened. The email address: "mailto" works, but there is nothing I received (the content).

<FORM NAME="Purch" ACTION="mailto:[e-mail]" METHOD="POST">

Thank you.

I think you may need to define the entype as "text/plain" in order for it to work.

Quite possibly. If that doesn't work let's have a look at the whole form?

That's "enctype"...

But it doesn't always work. If you use this method, older browsers and AOL will typically send you an email with a subject line but no content (in the body).

So, if adding the enctype attribute doesn't solve your problem, the next thing you may want to do is test the form with different browsers (have friends help)and see if some of them do send the content.
