    Hello MegaMaster

    Can you explain a bit more about your code or any of the black bold text below help.

    <form name="myform" action="handle-data.pl">
    Search: <input type='text' name='query' />
    <input type="image" src="go.gif" />
    </form>



    <a href="mailto:yourname@somewhere.com?subject=More info needed">Hello True Blue</a>


    Warning:
    Placing a link to your main e-mail address on an open public form will lead to spam. Only use a secondary e-mail address you can bin if needed.

    okay so to elaborate. I have created a test using an html page. I want to know how i could get the test to be emailed to the admins or at least posted somewhere in the forums. if u need any more explanation feel free to ask.

    test: http://elementalheroshine.forumotion.com/h1-judge-admission-test-1

    I don't like the coding that I am using right now.

    I'd suggest going with a free form maker if your not strong with HTML.
    Google 'Emailmeform' and you'll get a good one.

    Your opening form tag should look like this:

    <form action="MAILTO:email address here" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

    Hello MegaMaster

    I used Microsoft Word 2002 to create a "newsletter" and got the same results, had to bin it in the end, but I did use the frame without text and added text later for better results.

    so like

    Code:
    <body style="colbucket.com/albums/mm108/Coolx10/jadenheros-2.png">
    <form name="judgeadmissiontest">
    <form action="MAILTO:trimoski2008@gmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
      <p>Welcome to the official EHSA Judging Admission Test<br>

    @True Blue, did u try sending it. its awkward. u have to choose to email it or not. I would prefer it auto-submit directly to me, but i guess since we can't use php this is the best that could be done.

    Yes you need to include the form name. But all in one tag like this:

    Code:

    <form name="judgeadmissiontest" action="MAILTO:trimoski2008@gmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
