Thank you for all your help, it was one of those things where it looks like it might work but in the back of your head your saying not a chance...LOL.

Hi,

Even more importantly:
If your site is not configured with FrontPage Extensions (some sort of microsoft ssi/cgi), all of those gibberish codes:
<!--webbot
bot="Validation" s-display-name="Last Name"

etc. are totally useless.
Do not use FP's validation routines. I'm not even sure that they would work with anything but IE browsers.
Also as AndyB implies, you need a cgi program to format & send your data. Otherwise, the submission will simply open Outlook, etc..

There are a number of things wrong. You have three FORM start tags but there's only one form. The form action mailto: needs to have ENCTYPE="text/plain" added for the returned data to make sense .... but the principal problem is that the mailto: action does not work with IE5 (and who knows what else) -- it just opens your e-mail program and nothing more.

For a really simple, configurable, form that includes field validation, visit the Response-o-matic site
