If you are mailing server-side, as is most stable and robust for internet
applications, you do it with the server-side language of choice.
If you are using mailto as a form action, it's not good for this. You would
basically have to have a javascript handler for the form that writes the
value of the variable to a hidden form field and then submits the form, then
when the form is mailed, you'll get the value in there. Obviously it wouldn't
work for users without script.
There are a lot of possible problems with using mailto for internet apps, so
if you are, you might want to look in the archives and decide if it's really
want you want to use.

<form method="POST" action="sendmai l.cgi">
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( '<input type="hidden" name="stuff" value="' + yourVariable +
'">');
</script>
<input type="submit" value="Send Stuff">
</form>
If yourVariable may contain quotation marks or new line characters, you must
either remove them, replace them, or escape them.

Grant,
Well it took me this long to understand what is happening in my page. Your
script, of course, works perfectly by itself. However, on my page I do
several things, requiring user input, to create the variable that I then
want to send via formmail. As I understand it, your code executes as the
page loads, and at that point the variable is empty. I have a form
that runs some other javascript that creates the value (a string) in the
variable, then I have a simple second form with a button you click to
display it, then a third form that asks for yor name, and sends the
name and string via email. The first 2 are working. Any further
suggestions for the 3rd?
Thanks much,

Hello,
I am in need of some advice. I want to move to .Net 2.0 and Visual Studio
2005 for ASP.NET developement, however I'm hesitant. Here are a few
questions I have regarding the upgrade:
1) Currently I have several customers with .Net web applications I've
written. If I upgrade to VS2005 and go to update these applications, will
VS2005 assume .Net 2.0 and use whatever new syntax or properties? Or keep it
on my current version?

The following is an explanation of a bug that exists in the VB.NET compiler.
I've tried to report it to Microsoft, but they've made it so difficult I've
given up:
MSDN help states that variables are initialised when they are created. This
seems to be true for the following code which produces "1","2","3","4","5".
(ie the variable is created when a procedure is entered and not when
for-loop is entered)
For i = 1 To 5
