Hi, I want to submit form data to assinged email address. I am using mailto: action. But when I click on submit button I get write email screen(I have aol, so I get AOL write email dialouge box) without any form data into it. I was under that impression that once I click submit form data get submitted to email address. Please advice me on how "mailto" action works. Do I need to do any setting besides "mailto" action in the jsp/html code? Thanks.

_mailto_ will always call the default email client in the visitor's PC. You need a server side script if you want to submit the form to an email address directly from the webserver OR you can use a form mailer service.
This is a sample of using a server side script, assuming you have CGI and webmaster@yoursite.com.
While this is a discussion about free form mailer service.
