Subject: [Javascript] mailto link question.

> Hello all!
>
> I came up with a very easy script that iterates through a form and
concocts an email message, the body of which is the contents of all the form
elements and their values. Unfortunately all the form fields and their
values come out in a continuous string: FirstName=Joe,LastName=Blow etc. I
tried putting "/r/n" after each form elemenr in rhe script but this doesn't
help. Would any of you Javascript gurus have an idea how I can put a
carriage return/line feed in the body of a mailto link?? I come from the
Pascal world and Javascript is quite net to me at this point, this is for my
nephew's Cub Scout troop's web site.
