Hi sheetal,

The most reliable way is to use straight HTML via a Submit style button. Set the ACTION of the <FORM> to a mailto: URL and the ENCTYPE attribute to "text/plain". For security reasons, the form.submit() method does not submit a form whose ACT ION is a mailto: URL.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0x does not e-mail forms directly, though it can launch an e-mail client such as Eudora Pro or Outlook Express. These in turn convey identifying info to the recipient, offering a measure of security.
