i have put the email form html in my html in geocities and it shows up just fine..but when i clicked to submit and get it sent.....it gave me this warning...how do i get the form to submit to me....:(
This form is being submitted using email. Submitting this form will reveal your email address to the recipient, and will send the form data without encrypting it for privacy. You may continue or cancel the submission. OK when I click OK to go ahead and submit it it pops up my msn write email page like i just clicked on email me button

I have two codes that I can use...
<form method="post" action='mailto:Your Email'>
<input type=text name=name: value="name:" size="40">
<input type=text name=email: value="email:" size="40">
<input type=text name=comments: value="comments:" size="40">
<input type="submit" Value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Oops!">
This is one...And the one of the Lissas codes...Lemme get it....
<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action='mailto:your email address'>
<input type="hidden" name="To" value="your subject for email">
Put question # 1 here:<br>
<input type="text" name="question:" size="50" maxlength="100"><br><br>
Put question # 2 here:<br>
<input type="text" name="question:" size="50" maxlength="100"><br><br>
Put question # 3 here:<br>
<input type="text" name="question:" size="50" maxlength="100"><br><br>
Put question # 4 here:<br>
<input type="text" name="question:" size="50" maxlength="100"><br><br>

Put something here that requires a long answer:<br>
<textarea name="Subject of text area" rows=7 cols=46></textarea>
<br><br>A yes no question goes here:<br>
<input type="radio" name="your question1"value="Yes">Yes<BR>
<input type="radio" name="your question1"value="No">No<br>

<br><br>A yes no question goes here:<br>
<input type="radio" name="your question2"value="Yes">Yes<BR>
<input type="radio" name="your question2"value="No">No<br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit"><img src="spacer.gif" width=5 height=1 alt="spacer">
<input type="reset" value="Try again"></form>

It doesn't matter which one I use...it does the same thing....Tells me that warning...:(

those forms wil use like outlook or whatever mail thing the person is using. When i tested lissa's, the netscape email thing came up. So the problem could be that. If you want a form that doesn't require them to use their mail program you can either use bravenet, lissa's premade forms which use bravenet:

geocities won't support anything like php so you're kinda limited and probably would have to use something remotly hosted like bravenet.

is there any way I can use anything besides Bravenet...I don't really want to move all my stuff to another site. :( I like geocities. For me it's very easy and I can actually work with it and it can work with me. Do you know of anything else I can use?

You don't have to move your whole site over to Bravenet :) It just hosts the email script for you, which is useful if your host doesn't support PHP, or CGI, or whatever the script happens to use.
