Working with HTML Forms

See Creating a New Form for information about toggling this option on and off.
Advantages of a Mailto Form
By creating a mailto form, any email generation is done on the server-side, not on the client. This means that site visitors can submit email whether or not the client has email software.
Storing Form Data in a Database
By storing form data in the Ektron CMS400.NET database, you can keep information submitted by site visitors and view reports on that information. You can also export the form data to a spreadsheet.
