How do I insert a form in my website, in which when the person enters their email address, and name, and clicks 'submit', the information gets sent directly to my email address, into my inbox?
,this is what i did ---->
I know that the 'mailto' part keeps openign outlook express to send emails, is there any way i can have their name and address directly sent to my email when they click submit?
help greatly aprreciated

In your
The only way you can have it sent directly is find out if your web host has a "mailer" script you can call directly. Then you don't have to use mailto.

You need to have an external script that extracts variables from the HTML form, processes them, and send them to your email. You may need to have your own SMTP server to do the email sending.

You need to have a CGI script on your server (usually found on every host, you just need to know the path and filename) to handle this.

You can do, but not with the HTML, U have to use any serverside scripting languages like...
ASP
JSP
PHP
ASP.NET
Try it out...
