Hi friends.
I am a novice in web dev. and so seem to be having a sort of problem in designing forms. The code that is shown below, has an "action=mailform.exe" and the prob is that when I click the submit, the browser opens the window asking me to save the file rather than executing it. So is the prob with either asp or perl scripts.
What exactly the problem is and how can I rectify it.
Plz help me.
----------------------
<form name="Contact" action="MailForm.exe" method="POST">
blah blah blah........
</form>
