There are only two ways to process form data -

1. Use mailto:name@domain.com as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c) formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d) redirect the visitor
to some ending page

Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and* send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.

Method 2 is the preferred method, since it eliminates the problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).

You would have to decide which of these methods is best for your needs,
but if it's Method 2, then start by asking your host what they provide for
form
processing.

use mailto option or a script. incase of mailto option the user will have to
send the form through his email client. but in case of a script, the user will
send it directly. visit [url]www.bebosoft.com[/url] and the program's name is forms to go
2.0.its the best.i use it for my site at [url]www.nayevichar.com/contact.html[/url] and
you can have a look at the working of the software.

[Make it so!]

VUSM,

Try using perl script. You will need to substitue your domains in the script
for it to work.
