forms email submit button

forms email submit button
Thu, 3 Apr 2008 17:02:58 -0700
I'm practicing greating a simple form with mutiple Radio Buttons under the 
FromsButton1 group. All seems OK, but when I insert a forms button to submit 
the form, I can't find where it gives me the Email-to option. Under the 
Forms Button Properties and Type: all I have is a "Submit, Reset,
Button" 
pull down option.

Any idea where all the options to email or save to file etc are at?

Thanks... Paul

Paul,

A submit button's action is part of the form's properties. Not the button 
properties.

That being said... do you realize that those using web mail (AOL, Yahoo, 
Gmail, etc.) rather than a mail client (Outlook, windows Mail, Outlook 
express, etc.) won't be able to use your form if you use a mailto: action?

You should look into using a form-handling script instead of mailto.

If your web server has the PHP language available, you can use a good 
general purpose script like Form@iler from dbMasters.
