Forms in Firefox

Hi.

This seems stupid but I'm having trouble with forms in firefox. I can get them to submit no problem in Internet Explorer but when I click on submit in Firefox it just opens an email the same as if I put a simple mailto: link in!?!?!

OK fair enough - to be honest, I don't do much web development - I'm happy to use something other than mailto: but any chance you could suggest something?

you'll need a mailing script - asp, php, etc - there are plenty freebies out there but you may need to get your hands dirty codingwise?

If I was at home I could sort you out with one of my own but alas I'm not
