You need some server side scripting to proces the form and send it to you,then you put that in the action attribute.

[David_Stokes]

is there any HTML code that will do it ?

[Bosko]

Nope,the only thing you can do is put your email address in the action attribute but this will not work for many people.

If you dont have server side scripting support ,I would recommend simply using a mailto link and placing the subject and the start of the body of the message within a link.

To expand on what Bosko has just said, in order to get the contents of a form to show up in your mailbox you need to set the UniversalSendMail privilege using the netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege method. You can't do this without signing your script, and you can't sign your script without an object signing certificate. (I'm more or less quoting from the Client Side JavaScript Guide, get it at

DevEdge Online, and see the chapter on security).

Object signing certificates aren't cheap, and I'm fairly sure IE doesn't support it anyway (I'm happy to be proved wrong on this, by the way). All in all I think you're better off with a mailto: link, or learning some server-side coding.

Actually you can use without signing the page,but then it will display an popup asking you if you want to allow it.That annoying so you should sign the script.
