    form questions

    I would, first, like to know, when someone hits a submit button and a form
    is sent, how could you get that form sent as text instead of an attachment?
    And second, how do you get the user to be able to browse for an image on
    his/her computer and load it to a form?

      And this has what to do with javascript?

      alt.html comp.info.www.authoring.html

      <input type="file" value="Click Me to find the file">

      Can't answer the first question because its too vague.

          Not with JavaScript. This is a problem introduced when using mailto: as a
          form action (not the big problem though). Don't use mailto:

          Again, not with JavaScript.

                  Don't use "mailto:" as for your form's action.
