[url=http://www.ihtml.com]http://www.ihtml.com[/url] it's the merchant ihtml shopping cart program. i've been running into to trouble alot of places...but seem to work through it, but i ahve to learn this god forsaken language. anyhow...what this email form does, or is supposed to be used for...is adding a regular text greeting (the text area) and you have the option to have it pull the new and/or special items from the database, list them, and add it to the mail. whenever html is sent through, it just shows the code or is completely messed up. so, this must mean, like you were saying, it's processed sever side, and does not allow the html to be processed. here's the form and surrounding code of the form page. <iCASE ALIAS="step" VALUE="3"> <TR BGCOLOR="#003366"> <TD COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="left"> <A HREF="#" onClick="window.open('help/email_emailmethod.html', 'MercHelpWin', 'status,resizable,width=600,height=400,left=100,top=100,scrollBars=1');return false"><IMG SRC="graphics/help.gif" ALIGN="right" VSPACE="2" HSPACE="2" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="15" BORDER="0"></A> <FONT FACE="verdana,tahoma,arial" COLOR="#ffffff" SIZE="-1"><B>  E-Mail Method -
