I haven't tested it but I think the below is correct syntax. Let me know.

<html> 
<head>
&lt;script language="Javascript"&gt;
function SubmitMyForm() {
document.mailform.submit(); 
document.location.href="http://www.ericphelps.com/"; 
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body> 
<form 
name="mailform" 
action="mailto:ericphelps@pacbell.net?subject=Email form test" 
method="post" 
enctype="text/plain" 
> 
<input 
type="hidden" 
name="body" 
value="The HTML code at <a href="http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/email/index.htm" class="bb-url">http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/email/index.htm</a> worked!" 
 /> 
<input type="button" name="submitbutton" value="Submit The Form!" onclick="SubmitMyForm();" />
</form> 
</body> 
</html> 

That's it I think!

allright this code send the form automatically & then takes me to the specified home page...

http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/email/index.htm worked!"
>

Is there a way that i can alter it that it waits for me to acutally hit the send button because right now as soon as you enter the page it sends the form.. so basically the form is empty.

thank you all for your replies.. for some reason i didn't get a notification email so i thought you guys had forgotten about me.

but you didn't

thanks .

i absolutely cannot use and server side scripting languages for whatever reasons that my boss might have...

Unfortunatelly i'm no JavaScript wiz either - can someone recommend any website that might have something i am looking for?

If you absolutely can't use any PERL PHP ect then I would use the following in some way to get your result:

I know this would call a function when the user submits a form and not after it opens the mail program but i bet you could use this or write a function using mailform.submit() I would still suggest using something like what is offered at http://www.bigbiz.com/forms.html
Good Luck! Adios!

I agree with Brian, check with your host what formmail scripts they offer for form processing then you would have something like this

form method=POST action=http://home.com/cgi-bin/mailto:me@work.com

and you could use this to redirect to a new page

INPUT TYPE=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/thanks.html"

Without using PERL, I don't believe this can be accomplished. However, check with your ISP to see if they offer a form processing script such as formmail (http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/)

Good luck,
