Hi everybody,

I bought a mercury template #26894 and i just finish editing everything inside but i have the contact form and the newsletter subscription on stand by because i don't know how to enable both.
I don't know nothing about html am new with all these but before i bought the template the support guy told me it will be very easy.
If you can help me enable the contact form so i can receive the information to my email.
On html i see this code

HTML Code: [ Select ]
<h3>Contact Form </h3>
                 
                  <form id="ContactForm" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                           <div><label><input type="text" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Your Name:'" onfocus="if(this.value =='Your Name:' ) this.value=''" value="Your Name:"/></label>
                           <label><input type="text" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Company:'" onfocus="if(this.value =='Company:' ) this.value=''" value="Company:"/></label>
                           <label><input type="text" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='E-mail:'" onfocus="if(this.value =='E-mail:' ) this.value=''" value="E-mail:"/></label>
                           <textarea onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message:'" onfocus="if(this.value =='Message:' ) this.value=''" cols="25" rows="7">Message:</textarea>
                              <p class="btn fright">
                              <a onclick="document.getElementById('ContactForm').reset()" href="#">Reset</a>                           
                              <a onclick="document.getElementById('ContactForm').submit()" href="#">Submit</a>
                              </p></div>                 
                     </form>
  1. <h3>Contact Form </h3>
  2.                  
  3.                   <form id="ContactForm" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  4.                            <div><label><input type="text" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Your Name:'" onfocus="if(this.value =='Your Name:' ) this.value=''" value="Your Name:"/></label>

All you have to do is change the bit where it says action="" to action="mailto:youremail@yourisp.com" the problem is that you may get a lot of spam because robots look for emails in code and send spam to you. There are ways around this using JavaScript but thats getting complicated. I don't know how to do it because I get all my data sent to a database and not me I then view the database to get the info out thus removing the issue.
