Forms
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do a form without going through javascript/cgi? I've put the form together using:
<FORM method="post" action="mailto:joanne.canning@nof.org.uk?subject=Intranet Survey">
But when you click on the submit button you get the email with the address and subject entered but not the answers from the form.
Help please!

Just use the code like below:
Code:<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:blah@blah.com,blah@blah.com"> <TABLE WIDTH="600" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP"> <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Please send me information on:</P></TD> <TD> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="3" width="763"><TR> <TD><INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="info on" VALUE="global"></TD> <TD>GLOBAL</TD> <TD><INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="info_on" VALUE="private_banking"></TD> <TD>Private Banking </TD> <TD><INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="info_on" VALUE="commercial"></TD> <TD>Corporate/ Commercial</TD> <TD><INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="info_on" VALUE="GIBS"></TD>
etc, etc, etc,
Hope this helps

For some visitors, that's all you will get with the "mailto" for your ACTION. It's a browser thing. It is much better to use a CGI service as it gives you a lot more abilities.
If your host does not have CGI available to you, perhaps sign onto Bravenet and use their free service. They give you a starter form code, just take the starting tags (form, hidden, so forth) and put them into your own created form.
