in FrontPage 2003. I have seen on websites where there is a mailbox image
and when you click on it a pop-up box appears. I've tried to do it using
forms but can't seem to succeed. Any help is appreciated.
 
You create a "Mail to" hyperlink.
Insert your image into the page, right click the image and select Hyperlink...
On the right side of the Hyperlink Dialog under Link To: select email address
and then enter the address you want to appear in the To: field in the email program.

That is a javascript link which opens a pop up that uses a server side cgi form to send the
mail.
It can't be created with FrontPage.

Thanks Steve, that saves me a lot of unnecessary trying. Do you know if it
is a special program you buy or possibly go through the host for?
 
What error message are your users reporting?

Hi Thomas - We use Outlook Express and the users who say they cannot get
through are users of hotmail, yahoo, etc. I would like to set it up so it
goes through the cgi process. Do I contact my host to set this up? Thanks
for your help!
 
Make sure that the script that you are using is actually processing the form via the server, not the
user's email application, which will only work for user Outlook, Outlook Express and other PC based
email application that is associated with the user's browser.

How about using a simple contact form instead of the standard email link?
Those are easy enough to set up in FrontPage.
