Hi,

I have php generate a table with some data in frame["main"].

In frame["top"] I want a button that sends frame["main"] to a userdefinable
emailaddress.

Is there a quick way to do this or do I really have to go
"sessionvariables/serverside" ? Some javascript magic ?

Cause I noticed that IE allows sending a html page through mail and
Firebird doesn't. As I use frames in my webapp, the page that IE sends is
empty.



thx

As you have found sending emails *must* be done server side to be reliable.
You have control over your server side processes. You have absolutely no
control over the client side configuration.

You also should not be using frames this century.

It's strictly intranet, strictly IE6/outlook2000.
Part of the application is 'displaying fairly long lists'. Having them
scroll under the topframe (where the tableheaders are) is convenient.

Anyway thx for the effort.

Then you should have mentioned this in your original post. Answers for an
intranet are vastly different to asnwers for the internet. Besides, in your
OP you mention Firebird. Does Firebird fit into this strictly intranet,
strictly IE6 scenario?

Er, what?

No problem
