Submit Form

Hi there I have created a feedback form in basic HTML, and when it submits it sends it through outlook or a similar email client. Except I want it so it sends it to whatever address, but the user does not have to go through an email client. As in another page is all they see, saying "Thank you for your feedback." Could anyone let me know if this is possible? Below is my current code:

<html>
<br>
<br>
<title>Feedback Page</title>
 
<body bgcolor="#FFB7B7">
 
<table border="3" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFF99">
  <tr>
    <td><b>Feedback Page.</b></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
 
<fieldset>
<legend>
Please fill in the following form completely:
</legend>
 
<table border="0" align="center">
<tr>
 
<form action="MAILTO:johnsmith@hotmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
 
<td>
<br>
<br>
Forename: 
<input type="text" name="forename">
<br>
<br>
Surname: 
<input type="text" name="lastname">
<br>
<br>
E-mail Address:
<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
<br>
Telephone Number:
<input type="number" name="phone">
<br>
<br>
<br>
</td>

<td>
Please tell us what type of feedback you would like to give:
<br>
<br>
<input type="radio" name="comment" value="comment"> Comment
<br>
<input type="radio" name="question" value="question"> Question
<br>
<input type="radio" name="complaint" value="complaint"> Complaint
<br>
<textarea name="comment" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</td>

</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
 
</body>
</html>

If you do not want a user to go through an email client, you have to use a serverside languae to process the data and store it or email it. You will not be able to pull this off with JavaScript alone.

Thanks for the reply Eric, so what is a server-side language exactly? JSP? Perl? PHP?

What ever you feel like using or your server supports.

If you want to do this with servlets (JSP would be a poor choice), the JavaMail API is discussed in the Other Java APIs forum.

Use PHP it's easy to use..
