Re: Re: I got the mail form blues! HTML/POST/mail() question - Also request for style suggestions

Thanks for the help already. I am still struggling. I didn't have any luck with urlencode(), but I used htmlentities() and the variable did get passed as a section of HTML code. When I sent the mail, however, it displayed as text within the e-mail message and not as a table. I was using these mail headers: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thank you -- Monique. This is from the e-mail message that was delivered by the program: ************** Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 From: monique@costill.com <monique@costill.com> Reply-To: monique@costill.com <monique@costill.com> Sender: monique@costill.com <monique@costill.com> From monique@costill.com To monique@costill.com From test Subject Your message From test Message <html> <body bgcolor=\"ffe3bf\" leftmargin=\"0\" topmargin=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\"> <table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"big\"> <tr> <td width=\"3%\" rowspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"666666\"> <a href=\"../index.php\"><img src=\"../images/logo.png\" name=\"image\" width=\"97\" height=\"115\" border=\"0\"></a></td> <td width=\"97%\" height=\"80\" bgcolor=\"666666\" class=\"logo\"><table width=\"90%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" class=\"xbig\"> <tr> ....etc.... *********** "Richard Lynch" <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote in message news:1265.66.99.91.45.1103300212.squirrel@www.l-i-e.com... > > > You need to http://php.net/urlencode anything you echo into a > HIDDEN INPUT > so that the HTML tags in it don't get used by the browser display > rendering engine. > > > Monique Verrier wrote: > > Hi David -- > > > > When I do that, it creates a problem because it displays a "> at the > > bottom > > of my screen.
