I have been searching for scripts to write to do the followings:

1) validate that an applicant has all required field checked (this is to thin out who is serious and who's just browsing)--DONE
2) application page (applicant fills in all form fields)--DONE
3) mail the entire page content either in CSV or as is in HTML as attachment via email through web
4) "optional" confirmation page

I was led to this site (http://www.email-form.com/) for a program called Form Processor Pro. This program will take care of the step 3 and 4 without saving to the server. My question is can this be achieved by writing my own perl or javascript? I wrote a javascript <form ... action="mailto:addy@addy.com"> and it calls the user computer's default mail client (this case Outlook). Well, what happens if an applicant does not have Outlook? Currently I am using "action=http://cgi.freedback.com/mail.pl" as my form mailer. The problem is that it calls for redirect to an pop-up site. What do you get for free form mailer, anyway right?

Would someone direct me to a way to start writing my own code or just purchase the software?

Thank you in advance.
