A XHTML1.1 DTD will not work for most email clients.
The <html> element should NOT be enclosed in a table!

AND the form action will need to point to a URI on a server that can process the data

**guy dowd** · 06-02-2010, 03:18 PM

K well ya i just wrote it quick im not worried bout the perfection of that code i have not proofed it yet. I need to know how to write the action for this. I usually use cfm but is not supported in my email so i need to know how to do this using html in an email

thanks

Guy

You can't

**guy dowd** · 06-02-2010, 04:57 PM

Well what is my other options php? i dont know anything about that so i would need alot of help

**chrishirst** · 06-02-2010, 05:17 PM

PHP, ASP, .NET, Perl, Python or any serverside code that can accept POST or GET data and process it into whatever form you require.

I think what you are attempting is kind of unrealistic. I know you think people will be more likely to do the survey if they don't have to go to a different URL address but, in the end, they have to.

I think you should just link them to the survey and include a begging message in the e-mail that you'd love their response.

I found this thread to be particularly interesting: http://myhosting.com/forums/myhostin...orm-email.html

The OP is using ASP instead which might be a solution?

So there is no way to have a form inside a email as an html then have the submit button run through a external link to send email of values of the forms?

**chrishirst** · 06-03-2010, 09:48 AM

No!

I have had html webpages which had sent the form data to an email address.

Did this only once years ago, but not since. It did work back then, I can not say how I had it work.

Now days, I stick to a PHP request processor to work on the POST details.
