Website mailing list problem- takes me to an email client like Outlook?
My friend site is trying to log a mailing list, but when people put in the name and email it opens up a media client.
Is there something wrong with the code:
<td colspan="3" rowspan="3"><form action="MAILTO:email@email.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<h4><span class="style3">name:</span><br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="yourname" />
<br />
<span class="style3">e-mail:</span><br />
<input type="text" name="mail" value="yourmail" />
<br />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send">
It is not clear to me what you want to achieve, but a form action Mailto invokes the browser to look for the default email program, start it up and open up a new email to email@email.com. This is expected behaviour
If you want people to sign up to be included in a mailing list, you need to make a small database in which all subscribers are included and do a add record to add a new subscriber.
