1. well, thats pretty messy HTML, a lot of <p></p> when you can just use a <br /> etc, but, if it doesnt work, try doing this: changing submit button to this <input type="button" value="submit" onClick=" document.(formname).submit()" /> if that works, there must've been something wrong with the other button. I didnt really see any problems, but i just glanced Just tried it in my own browser, the code worked NOTE: using the mailto: action does not mean it will send an email what the mailto: action does is open a mail client allowing you to send it To edit this, you need use a CGI script. I'm a php person, asp.net is something i have yet to learn, but from my perspective, what you're going for would be a mail("youremail@host.com", "subject", "messagestring"); where the messagestring would be compiled with post data
2. ASP is a server side scripting language. Form Submission is Client side. You do not need anything other than basic HTML in coding the submit button OnSubmit = "whatever script handles the form data on the server"
