I'm trying to send a simple email from my website using a HTML form. I am not allowed to use any server-side scripting. I'm wondering if it's possible to send a simple message from a HTML form using maybe Jscript or Javascript or DHTML or VBscript or something else? Thanks all :)
P.S. It can't be mailto: either. I'm not expecting a miracle, but one would surely be appreciated right about now...
To my knowledge this is not possible. VBScript is still server side scripting. There may be API's you can hit with JavaScrpt to achieve what you want, but I do not know of any.
Take a look at this for more information about why a server side handler is necessary.
Without a server side language or mailto: I don't think this can be accomplished.
Well, this one does include server side scripting, but you don't have to pay.
You can use google appengine and code some simple mail submitter using both java/python (which GAE supported)
Well in theory, you can use cross site XHR like techniques, tag inclusions etc, but you will need another server supporting server side scripting, you can use a simple free service, for instance GAE as silent stated for this. You will also need security, you can use a capcha service which is free also. But in reality, it does not worth it.
There are email servives you can use that would integrate with your website such as http://www.emailmeform.com/. This one is free to use. they generate the code for you to include on your web page. I have not used them, so can not say what their service is like, but they do appear to meet your requirements.
There is also http://wufoo.com if you are looking at some kind of contact form.
