thank you

gilestalbot

it`s a html.. give me a full code..))
it`s starts.. <table>..........</table

Your pasted code started with </form> which is the closing tag of a form...

Should start with <form>

But in addition to that, the form must have an action attribute to tell it what to do when the user hits submit

<form action="/cgi-bin/formmail.pl">

That's a common one for small sites, and by your hidden <input> tags, it looks like what you're trying to use.

Then the closing </form> tag would come at the bottom of the HTML somewhere.

If you don't have a CGI form mailer script or other server-side code to do the job, you can use the poor man's method of putting your email in the action attribute:

<form action="mailto:info@effortlesscash.co.uk">

It won't be particularly pretty when you get it, but it will get to you.
