Form Sender - Without having to go through another server - How?

[SonicChao]

How can I make a web form that the results can be sent directly to my e-mail without having to go through another server?

[SonicChao]

Do I need to explain better?

Assuming you don't have a server-side methods like PHP, ASP, Perl, etc. the only thing I think you can do is something like this:

<form action="mailto:[email protected]" enctype="text/plain"><div>
  Name: <input type="text" name="Name"><br>
  Subject: <input type="text" name="subject"><br>
  Comments: <textarea name="comments" cols="20" rows="10"><textarea><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Send Comments"><input type="reset" value="Clear Form">
</div></form>

But that will just open the user's e-mail client.

That code doesn't work in Netscape. It just opens a blank email.

I think that's 'cause I gave incorrect code This:

Comments: <textarea name="comments" cols="20" rows="10"><textarea><br>

Should have been this:

Comments: <textarea name="body" cols="20" rows="10"></textarea><br>

Or you could add method="post" to have all the form elements added to the body along with their name. But I think if you use AOL none of the above will work.

When I started off doing websites I used a similar form for my sites, but then I realised that netscape users couldn't use the form. I use cgi or php now. I also noticed that Explorer 6 does the same thing, just opening the email.
