You should be able to do it with dreamweaver, but i'm not sure if there is a ready to use feature in dreamweaver for it, you might want to contact macromedia support and ask the question, they will likely know.

thanks a lot you guys, I'm going over my javascript tuts now and if I can't find what I'm looking for I will call Macromedia and see what they tell me. Appreciate the responses, thanks again.

Are you depending on the user's mail client or on a server side mail client to send the info? If only the user's client then you can do it in HTML/Javascript otherwise you will need a backend script in PHP or whatever language tickles your fancy.

Holy fucking shit this thread is scary.
You can't process a form with javascript.

If you're looking to have the form info mailed to you, try www.phorm.com

What I meant by HTML/Javascript is setting the form action to mailto: and the method to GET. Its the simple (but piece of shit) client side way of doing it.

Oh yeah and your link is dead?

mailto: as a form action is extremely insecure.

Its too bad that link to phorm has gone away. Alan Little's "phorm" script was great.

Good luck on the website you're trying to build and i can smell something that's heating up...;)

You can use mailto: for the form action, but I would honestly just either download a free PHP script (ie: hotscripts.com) or build a basic PHP mailer yourself.

Very simple example (for not knowing what form fields there are...):

<?php

$email = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Contact Submission";
$body = "";

foreach($_GET as $key=>$val) {
$body .= "$key: $val\n";
}

mail($email, $subject, $body);
?>

(Using $_GET, so you'd want to make sure your form method was "GET".)

That's a pretty watered down example, but you get the idea. Best bet for such a simple script is just going to hotscripts.com. Good luck.

This code is susceptible to header injection
