How do you send an email with html? llike from a text field and when they click submit it sends an email with subject xxxx message yyyy etc.

You can't. Well at least not really. Some servers have scripts installed to catch HTML form content when it's submitted and then they process it. Typically these scripts are garbage and cause more problems than they're worth. The best way to handle emails is by using a PHP or ASP script (preferably PHP), but your server would have to support PHP or ASP to do this.

Thanks a lot ive been searching like a friggin insane dude being pissed off to finding out why there was no solution.... thanks a lot.... grrrr

um... there are ways to do this, all you need is a CGI script. Search google for "sendmail" I think it is.

Alternatively, you can just have the target of the form "mailto:whatever@whatever.com" and it will send the informatoin via the clients mail program (not very recommende though b/c people are lazy and dont like this).

You can, and no, you do not need a script. however the best way to do that is to use a script, probably using PHP.

Does your host support PHP?

For the HTML code:

<form action='mailto:YOUREMAIL@YOURSITE.COM' method='post'>
</form>
