Thread: Help! Form won't work in Internet Explorer!

Hello,

I'm trying to create a form and have the information automatically emailed to me. Here's the code:

<form action="mailto:evan****.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain" name="request_info" id="request_info">
<p><label for="First Name">First name: </label>
<input name="First Name" type="text" id="First Name" maxlength="255" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<label for="Last Name">Last Name: </label>

<input name="Last Name" type="text" id="Last Name" maxlength="255" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="Street Address">Street Address: </label>
<input name="Street Address" type="text" id="Street Address" size="50" maxlength="255" />
</p>
<p><label for="City">City: </label>
<input name="City" type="text" id="City" maxlength="255" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<label for="State">State: </label>
<input name="State" type="text" id="State" size="2" maxlength="255" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="Zip Code">Zip Code: </label>
<input name="Zip Code" type="text" id="Zip Code" maxlength="255" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<label for="Email">E-mail address: </label>
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" maxlength="255" />
</p>
<p align="center">
<label for="submit"></label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>

It works fine in Firefox, but when I try to do it in Internet Explorer Outlook opens a blank email...it has the correct email address but there's no data...it's just blank. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Forms that use your own email client to send the mail, will fail in most cases as they rely on the setings of Outlook Express or other mail client. Since you can't control the settings on your visitors computers, in most cases this will fail.

Use the Form Wizard to create a form processed by the built in Form Processor. This way it will work for everyone.
