I'm using blueyonder as a server and dreamweaver to build my site.

I have an order form but when I put the action in the submit button as mailto:myemail@myaddress.com is just opens up a blank e-mail.

I know there should be an http address to use instead of the mailto option but how do I find out the http address to use? I have a phpinfo() file about the sever but what should I be looking for?

THANKS!

You should try using...
form action=mailto:me@blablablabla.com" method= post"

The biggest problem with using this method is the user will see a security message before they can send you the feedback. I dont think it's a great problem, but may out a few people off using it.

Something like this should work...

<form action="mailto:me@foo.com" method="post">
<p><textarea rows="5" name="feedback" cols="40"></textarea><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="go"></p>
</form>
