Send e-mail from a form (only HTML, javascript)

Hi,

Send e-mail from a form, here is the the link to basic HTML code: W3 Schools

After writing a comment, name and email and clicking Send button the Outlook Express starts- is it possible to send message immediately (using only HTML, maybe javascript)?

Or maybe is there something that can be done so that the Outlook Express doesnt ask again to submit a name and email?

Regards

+1 A:

Bad idea, that relies on the client having an adequate mail client installed on their computer. What that does is uses their email address to send an email to the email address you specified. It completely relies on the client and has absolutely NOTHING to do with your server. There's nothing you can do on your page to speed up the process.

Aha OK. So what is other way to make this "feedback form"? PHP? If so, can you/someone please write some simple working code or a link to tutorial? Regards

Your comments should go in the comment fields (click 'add comment'), not in new answers.

If you want to know how to send e-mail via PHP, you should ask another question for that.

no, not in pure Javascript. Sending email requires server-side processing.

There are several website sthat will let you generate simple email forms, check out: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=email+form+generator&aq=5&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=email+form
