How do I set up a box on my web site, people type in it and the words get emailed to me?

Question

I want people to be able to type in a message to me and it go's right to my email. How do I set that up? Please help?

Answer 1

You will need a server-side scripting language if you want the e-mailing to be invisible to the user. Any language, like PHP, ASP or ASP.NET (as well as others) will do. Depending on what language your web host supports, the exact implementation will be slightly different, but the concept the same - simply create an input field and a submit button, place them inside a form on your page, and write a small server-side script that accepts the form submission and creates an e-mail message with the form contents, and sends that to your address.
