Yeah, that's pretty much how we do it. This happens for us without the
user even knowing it. They just get a friendly error message.

Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] A handy DEBUG method
very good idea..
There are only two ways to go about it tho (That I know of),
one would be a dialog "Do you wish to send a debug report?"
if they answer yes, then bring up their email client
(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
OR
you would have to use a server side component of some sort..
I have an 'email us' form on some of my client site which use
IIS and ASP to send the message via the server:
The following code is the asp (server side) code to send an email.
Note: You need to have SMTP installed on the NT/win2k server.
<%
Dim MyMail
Set MyMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
MyMail.From = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MyMail.To = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MyMail.Subject = "an error report"
MyMail.BodyFormat = 1 'text?
MyMail.MailFormat = 1
MyMail.Body = "Error message..."
MyMail.Send
Set MyMail = Nothing
response.redirect("thankyou_home.html")
%>
