Hi, everyone!

I'm creating a form using Dreamweaver MX. All goes well in the creation process. I'm attaching mailto:me@mine.com as an action. Once posted, when "Submit" is clicked, it opens up an e-mail, addressed to me, with all the data included, that I then have to send. Is there any way to make it just send to me without the user seeing their e-mail?

Thanks to all!

I rather think that unless you use a redirect statement to a custom thankyou page the user will just see their email echoed.

You will need a server side programming language such as cold fusion, jsp, asp, or something like that. You could also create a macro with javascript, however for security reasons the user will most likely disallow that type of access to their computer. HTML has no send mail capablity and that must be done on the servers end or on the users end. If on the users end as in this case the user has to press the send button. If on the servers end using one of the above mentioned language then you could do it without user intervention.
