Problem with javascript contact form and outlook express?

[mirkobonet]

The idea is creating a contact form using mailto so it work with the
regular mail program.
(the server doesn't support php or asp)

I created the form and the function is function mailMe(form){
Subject=document.testform.subj...
message="First Name: "+document.testform.firstName.... '<br />' +
"Last Name: "+document.testform.lastName.v... '<br />' +
"Telephone: "+document.testform.phone.valu... '<br />' +
"Company: "+document.testform.company.va... '<br />' +
"Email: "+document.testform.email.valu... '<br />' +
"Question: "+document.testform.question.v...

It works fine on my computer and mozilla thunderbird, BUT it doesn't
work in Outlook Express. In outlook I get the tag <brbetween the
entries and not the actual breaking line.

Is it just Outlook fault that is not just compatible with that or I'm
wronging something?

Thanks

Give up now, it will save you a lot of trouble.

Find a free one on the web.

That won't work for about half the web (pick your own percentage) as it
will never be able to be made to work with web based email clients
(gmail, yahoo, etc...).

Is it just Outlook fault that is not just compatible with that or I'm
wronging something?

The problem is trying to send an email using mailto:.

I Know, that's sucks.
But the client first said their server was compatible with php. Now
they realize it's not and they don't want to upgrade it.

What really sucks are people who can't quote/post properly.

But the client first said their server was compatible with php. Now
they realize it's not and they don't want to upgrade it.
