Hi. I have made an html form which I would like to send by e-mail. When
the recipient receives the e-mail form, I would like them to be able to fill
it out and click the Submit button which will submit to an ASP page. This
ASP page contains the code to submit the form data to a database. The page
works fine when viewed through a browser, but the form will not submit in
Outlook 2002 (I haven't tried other mail programs). Any suggestions?

What doesn't work about it? It should, if your users don't have form
submissions disabled in the restricted sites zone or something and if you
aren't trying to use javascript to submit the form.
But while this should work, you may not want to do this, unless you're in a
totally controlled environment, like this is for internal mail only, and you
know that every recipient will be using an e-mail client that this will work
with.

Thanks for the advice, Ray. I don't seem to have form submissions disabled
in restricted sites zone. And I'm not using JS to submit the form. When I
open the mail in Outlook and click the "Submit Form" button, nothing
happens. As mentioned before, the form submits without issue when I view it
in a browser (IE).
I'm seriously considering your advice about not using this technique as I
will not be sending to users in a controlled environment. If you have any
other thoughts though, I'd like to hear them. Thanks for your help.

I've tested this with method=get and method=post, and both work for me in
OL2002. It is possible that IE is just not taking focus when you submit the
form or something like that, but probably not. So, why it doesn't work, I
don't know. But, yeah, I think that your best bet is to use a web page. In
addition to the form issue, there are still people who cannot or do not
accept html messages. Especially when Outlook 2003 becomes more common,
there will be more people who convert HTML messages to plain text. At least
a link will still work in plain text.

Can form.submit() submit another form? In the following example, in
page1.asp, it is fine to submit the current form: form1.submit(), and and I
could see the value "Joe" in page2.asp. However, if I do: form3.submit(),
then it couldn't go to page2.asp. Any ideas?? Thanks!!
//page1.asp

How does one go about submitting a form with a link - but submitting
it to a new window AND to a page different to that described within
the action="" option of the <form> tag?
Say, for example, I have a simple form such as the following:
<form method="POST" action="submit.php" name="AForm">
Name: <input type="text" name="Name" length="20"><br>
Age: 15 <a href="age.php">change age</a><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit"...

Hi all.
I have a form, and several text and image links on it that should
submit the form with different actions.
I prepared a simple page with just the code that's not working.
PROBLEM: The form won't submit if the link is clicked, but will submit
if the SUBMIT button is clicked. I need to call a function to change
the form's action according to user's input before it is submitted.

Can somebody clarify if/how/when a simple form is submitted when the <Enter>
key is pressed?
As I understood it, if you have a form with a single submit button, if enter
is pressed, the form should be submitted as if the button is pressed. Is
this correct?
Does this behaviour vary across browsers?

Ok, a related question to my previous one on data dumpers for

In the process of putting a form together, I'm using a lot of
placeholder variables that I really don't care about in the submitted
action. I'd therefore
like to get rid of them by doing something like:

So.. I have a form that submits to an ASP.net site made in C-sharp.
The ASP site is not mine, i do not have the server side code.

I think the javascript submit is working as it should, since I want
