RE: Need this to post to my e-mail
I don't believe you can set the action to a mailto:emailaddy

What you *can* do is set the form so that it sends its data to a script whose sole purpose is to collect the data, pretty it up, and then mail() it to you.

For example:

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. <?
  3. // output form
  4. ?>
  5. <form method="post" action="mail.php">
  6. <input type="text" name="test" /><br />
  7. <input type="submit" />
  8. </form>


and then the mail.php script:
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. <?
  3.  
  4. $test_val = $_POST['test'];
  5. mail("you@yourdomain.com","Email from Form","Someone posted : $test_val");
  6. ?>


I leave it up to you to actually adapt the concept to your specific needs.

RE: Need this to post to my e-mail
yes you can set mailto: url as form action. but the visitor to your site will have his mail client opened, and he will have to clike "send" (or similar) button to really send you the form data..

but anyway, like filefrog, i also recommend a much better way: a server side script. just look for "formmail php" at google for a generic-all-purpose-form-mail script ;)

RE: Need this to post to my e-mail
OK, Here is what I have found. When using the mailto call in a form action tag, the message is sent directly to the mail client with the choices sent as an attachment. (at least in outlook it did that.) I could not test to see if the message was sent, because I am not able to get to my mail server presently but after submitting the form and then oppening outlook, there was a message in my outbox waiting to be sent with an attachment. The attachment had a .att extension and I had to jump through hoops to actually view the attachment. So based on what you want to do, this wont work.

The only way I can see this being done is by using a JavaScript function that would read the values of the selected radio buttons, then form a string based on theose values and then use the location.href object along with the mailto call to invoke the the mail window.

BTW to get the values into the body of the message, form the mailto call like this:

mailto:mailto:myname@internet.com?subject=These are my picks&body= + MYRADIOVALUES
