i want to sen email using javascript but its not working using mailto

mailto is what you would attach to an anchor tag to alert the browser that the link is an email address and to load an email client if one is available.
It sounds like you want to give users the ability to fill in a form on your webpage and then they can send it to you, right? Well Javascript isn't the language for this. Javascript is a clientside language. You need a server side language, such as PHP, Perl, ASP, JSP etc...
The server would have to be configured to send mail.
Instead of constructing the email yourself, you can make a button that, when clicked, opens the default email client of the user (e.g. Outlook Express, etc.). The following sample ( source: JavaScriptKit.c om) puts a simple button on the screen. When clicked it opens the user's email client with the To:, Cc: and Subject already filled in.
[html]<form>
<input type="button" value="Contact Us" onclick="parent .location='mail to:you@youremai l.com?subject=T he subject you want to appear&cc=she@h eremail.com'">
</form>[/html]
When you decide that you want to make your own email form, you can see a sample of the PHP code for that at the following thread in the HTML forum http://www.thescripts.com/forum/post2268656-6.html

Yes,
It would have to be done using server side code. Since it is easy to do in ASP.NET VB or C# I'll demonstrate how.
Assume when the visitor enters the email address it is stored in a database and you retrieve it using the appropriate driver.
VB. 2k5
Sub sendMail(emailA ddress) Dim oSmtp As New System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient("sm tp host", port)
Dim oMessage As New System.Net.Mail Message
With oMessage.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail .MailAddress(em ailAddress)
.From = new System.Net.Mail .MailAddress("s ender@me.com")
.Subject = "Enter Subject"
.Body = "Enter Message Body Here" End With
oSmtp.Send(oMes sage) End Sub
If you use authentication credentials for your outbound smtp before you send insert:
oSmtp.UseDefaul tCredentials = False
Dim myCreds As New System.Net.Mail .Credentials("u sername", "password")
oSmtp.Credentia ls = myCreds
You can also enable SSL.
.NET 1.1 is much different and inferior so if you do use ASP use .NET 2.0.
I don't know how to do it in classic ASP but it is also an alternative.
Try PHP too.

Hi,
I am building a site for a client which has an enquiry form on it.
Normally I would something like PHP to send the form but the client doesn't
want to pay for a server that supports PHP, so the form is sent using the
mailto: command within the <form> tag. This sends the email fine but it is
rather messey. Could I use javascript to tidy up the form output and then
send an email with the contents, similar to the 'Mail' command in PHP?...

I need to enter data on a web page. I have been able to navigate using the

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
