How do I submit my HTML form by e-mail?
Posted on 2012-12-28
I created a simple form on a webpage, where I ask for visitors to enter their e-mail address and click 'Submit' if they want to be notified of an event.
When I test the form, nothing happens, apart from the re-direct to a second webpage.
This is the code I use:
<form action="info@invoiceit.com
<input type="hidden" name=tx1>
<input type="text" name="tx2" size="27" value="enter your e-mail address"><a href="thanksforwantingclou
<input type=submit value="Send it" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2">
</form>
What is missing to send the content of that text box to my e-mail address?
Hope you can help - thank you.

See the bottom example on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767737%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
For it to work in IE, you must use the exact names shown. IE will not pass anything else to the user's email program.
The only other alternative is to use server-side scripts like ASP or PHP.

Thank you so much. I modified the code along your example and it now reads
Unfortunately, no mail arrives.
I can't see where I go wrong. It seems so simple, yet so elusive.

You removed the 'mailto' part. It will not work without that. And this <a href="thanksforwantingclou
yes, I omitted that and now it works. Thank you for pointing it out.
Just one little thing left:
I use value="Notify Cloud release" as the subject, but on the e-mail it appears as
Notify+Cloud+release
Do you know how the + signs can be changed to spaces?

They can't as far as I know. They are required because of the way the email program is called from the web browser.
I figured it out:
value=Notify cloud&nb
Thank you for all your help. Points are awarded
