contact form, email address as target
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 4:56 am
I have a friend who had a small site built for him and in it was a contact form that had the owners email address in the target value.
When I tried it, it did open my email client with the form data in the email.
In the years that I've been doing this I've never seen that used before.
Why do I have the feeling that there are many email clients that won't open using this method?
I tried searching for info on it but couldn't find any. I was curious about any security issues with this technique, as mail forms are notorious for them.
Thanks,
