If you mean - take what they picked from an online form and email it to the business, you could by huge ingenuity do it through Javascript and a mailto: link but it's far easier if you have CGI on the server. Most ISPs even if they don't let you write your own scripts offer a cgi script called formmail that lest you take information the client enters in a form and email that info to a selected address. But this is a bit clumsy and the best way to do it is scripting with Perl, ASP or php. If you mean - can the business take the email the customer sent and use it as data input then that's possible too, if the email is generated from the Web page by a script so it's in a standard format. So... how about some clarification of what you want to achieve, and what facilities and skills you have to work with? (Can you program in Perl. ASP or php, if not does the hosting company offer formmail?) ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
