Hello,

I recently built a website. On the registration page
where people fill out their personal information I have a
submit button. However, I cannot get the submit button to
send the data to the email I set up. When you press
submit, outlook express comes up on my screen with the
address of the email I set up to get people's data, but
the email is completely empty. Also, if you press send and
I check the email message later, the email is empty. Am I
missing some sort of code??

Please help me out.
 
Are you publishing to a server that has the FP extensions? If so then you
should process the form data via the FP form handler.

Processing a form directly via email will not work for users that do not
have a email application associated with their browser. Also I think AOL
users have problem with this type of setup as well.

Thank you for the prompt response.

Someone told me that I should verify with Yahoo, my host,
that they have email services associated with the submit
button. If you could please have a look at the website,
www.alcatraztourtickets.com and tell me what the problem
is when you try to book a tour, I would really appreciate
it.

Thank you very much.

You can not use a mailto in a form w/o the FP Server Extensions or a CGI forms handler, as in
<FORM ACTION="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Alcatraz order" enctype="text/plain" METHOD="POST">
Your site does not have the FP SE, so you need to check if your host has a Forms handler
