E-mail form page - creating form to contact website

My site currently has a 'contact us' link that when clicked brings up the users e-mail editor to contact me.

Does anyone know the html code to setup a form that lets a user type in their name, e-mail address, and message, click the submit button and have it go directly to my e-mail address without bringing up their editor?

Thanks,
Chris

Sounds like you need a cgi script not html. Go to www.cgi-resources.com for mail scripts.

Chris, don't think i want to keep you away from my forum Smiling, but:
there is a way to avoid this 'client-popup'. all you have to do is setup a form containing the info you want to get from your webpage-visitor, and use this form-tag:
<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method=post enctype="text/plain">

this is sure not the best way to do, because you might still get this "caution! this form will be sent via email"-pop up, but if you r ISP doesn't allow you to use your own cgis it's the only way...
