Easy problem with form - please help :-)

[with hindsight]

I am trying to make an enquiry form but do not really know what i am doing.. The below code is what i have.

The form sends an email to the right address but does not send any information.

Each email recieved says:

met=on
x=25
y=6

Where x and y keep giving different numbers. I have no idea what this is and am just trying to make this site for a friend. I am sure the below code can be easily fixed but I simply dont know what to do. Please can someone help me out here as once this page is finished, the whole site is done and hence i can leave this computer!

many thanks in advance. :)

Hi with_hindsight! Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Every input tag needs a unique name to define it.

So change this
<input type="text">
to this
<input type="text" name="UniqueName">

[dnimrodx]

You should give an ID to every single field in your form;
How are you sending the email? With ASP and Javascript?

[Timotheos]

The email is being sent with the mailto: in the action of the form. It would be better for you to use some sort of script to process the variables and mail them rather then the method you are using. I'll bet your webhost provides some ready made scripts to mail forms.

[dnimrodx]

You should add some scripting to your code, because, like timotheos just said, not only you get to process the variables, but also there isn't an annoying dialog box being displayed by IE everytime the user submits the form...

with_hindsight,

because you are using an image as your submit button,(which is certainly fine), the x and y you're seeeing are the coordinates of the image submit button on the user's browser.

unless the x & y results are hanging something up, don't sweat them.

if so and you want a flashier submit button then the default, use css to change colors, fonts, size, border color, etc.

hope that helps.
