When I put the cursor over the order button it shows the mail address at the bottom of the page but when clicked on it does not mail the form it tries to open another page.

Page is http://www.4legs.fi/4legs/fixaphone.htm

Thanks

i don't know if DW4 has this built in... so you may have to do some hand coding

F10, or view source, whatever it is in DW4, and go to your first

<form method="post">

Then add this.

action="youremail@yourdomain.com"

to end up with this as your begin form tag:

<form method="post" action="youremail@yourdomain.com">

This method uses the default POP e-mail, just like a mailto: link would.

You may want to use formmail if you have access to a CGI bin, because some people, especially using public comps, don't have a POP e-mail, or use a hotmail, or yahoo, or anyother free e-mail.

Formmail is fast to set up, with very few variables. Easily found at http://www.hotscripts.com formmail will e-mail you the results.
