Today I was attempting to put an email form on my website... when I was testing it, this popped "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 this submission" So I click "ok". Then something else somes up saying "A program is attempting to send the following email on your behalf:
To:
Subject: Form posted from Microsoft Internet Explorer."
Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Is it normal?

To my knowledge, this is normal.
It exists so that web pages (or more specifically: ActiveX controls*) can't
"hijack" your e-mail and send messages from it without your permission.

If you want to get rid of the messages, I would recommend using a server-side
language such as PHP or Perl to send the e-mail.

*I don't know for sure if activeX controls can access email or not, but it seems
logical.

Hope this helps

ok thanks! but umm how do you use a server-side
language? ive never heard of it.. lol

anyone *cries*

depends on your host.
if you have CGI or PHP capabilities, then you can download and use your own script.

if you are on a free server or just want to get a simple one setup quickly, try here...

how do you use a server-side

Probably a program called SendMail.
But that's for Unix, I think. Unless it's been ported...
