> action="tellafriend.html"?id=

what is that ?id= for?  I don't know if that's causing your problem or not, but that's not going to give you any affect.  If you want to specify id= as a url variable for your form processor then you need to include it WITHIN your quotes.

I don't know if that will solve your problem, but other than that, the only problem I see is that your code is incredibly hard to read without being tabbed out and laid out so you can read it.  You also have this in twice:

<table cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1>

That shouldn't affect your form submission though.

Just for posterity sake, make sure that tellafriend.html exists.

Also, I didn't understand your comment about <a href="" >

Please tell me what is wrong wit this code? When I click  the Go button
I get a page cannot be displayed error message. I would like to see a
page that says Mail has been sent. This page has already been created
but when I try to use the <a href="" >   attribute I get nothing. Please
help! I think the problem lies somewhere in bold.
