Roger Try the following: <html> <head> <title>Form process</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function dostuff() { var email_body = "" var row_length = 0 var tot_length = 0 row_length = row_length + document.my_form.row1col1.value.length row_length = row_length + document.my_form.row1col2.value.length if(row_length > 0) {var email_body = email_body + "Row1<<" +document.my_form.row1col1.value + ">><<" + document.my_form.row1col2.value + ">><br>" tot_length = tot_length + row_length} row_length = 0 row_length = row_length + document.my_form.row2col1.value.length row_length = row_length + document.my_form.row2col2.value.length if(row_length > 0) {var email_body = email_body + "Row2<<" +document.my_form.row2col1.value + ">><<" + document.my_form.row2col2.value + ">><br>" tot_length = tot_length + row_length} if(tot_length == 0) {alert("no data entered") return} var mailto_text = "mailto:someone@somewhere.com?subject=Data for me&body="+email_body win = window.open(mailto_text,'emailWindow') try{ if (win && win.open &&!win.closed) {win.close()} }catch(e){} } </script> </head> <body bgcolor="lightblue"><font face="arial"> <h1 align="center">My form</h1> <form name="my_form" method="post" action=""> <table> <tr> <td>Row1 Col1 <input name="row1col1" type="text" size="75"></td> <td>Row1 Col2 <input name="row1col2" type="text" size="75"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Row2 Col1 <input name="row2col1" type="text" size="75"></td> <td>Row2 Col2 <input name="row2col2" type="text" size="75"></td> </tr> </table> <h3 align="center"><input type="button" value="Send data" onclick="dostuff()"></h3> </body> </html> It will work if the people filling out the form have an e-mail client.
