If you could make that a little bit more specific I might be able to help you. I see what your saying but I need more info.

It won't work if AOL is the default mail client cause your email settings are conflicting with the form.

Besides, html email forms do not work the same way in all browsers, unless you are using CGI-BIN script to send the mail via the webhost's mail program.

Best is to use a "send mail" button that works in both Netscape & IE, don't know about AOL cause AOL is 150% DIFFERENT than the standard email used on the www. AOL has their own mail network and ALL mail is filtered via their servers to auto zip files as needed and also to change the format of all images sent to the AOL Art image format.

Use this html for an email button, just change the name of the mailto: address -

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="e-mail" onClick="parent.location='mailto:WHATEVER YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IS ?subject=You can also put an automatic subject here"'></FORM>

hmmmm ok i will try it.. r u sayn it wood work on a regular web provider just not on AOL?
