Embedded Email on Web Pages?

Ok, so I'm helping out with working on a website for my school's band. There is a button that says "Contact Us" that I would like to go to a page that contains some sort of embedded email thing. I know that these exist because I've seen them on other sites. It's basically a box that you type in and when you press send it will send an email with that message to the admin/mod or me in this case. It's kind of like a message box but I'm not sure of what details to describe it with. Any help would be great, thanks!

The embedded email thing you have mentioned is actually called an Email Form.

Email forms are easy to build. You may need to have a look at these tutorial sites in order to create your own email form.

Your website may need to support scripts like PHP, CGI, etc so that the form can be mailed to you. Here are some scripts..

If you are not sure about all these things that I have mentioned, you can go in for a remotely hosted form mailer without having to install anything.

Which language are you going to apply ? you need to use the HTML type aspects (textbox, combobox, submit button, and so on..) to make a type to be filled by skill of the person. Then, you could write the code to save the suggestions entered into an get entry to db. For this purpose, you are going to be attentive to a cyber web programming language like, ASP, ASP.internet, very own residing house page, and so on.. Which one are you known ? :)

The easyist way is a form like

But this does not format it very nicely and it does not give you a nice "Your info has been sent" page.

To do that you change action to = a .php page or cgi script or other server side capability. I prefer to use PHP.

Within the PHP code you can extract the info and format a mail message e.g.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = "You have submitted the following name ".$name;
mail(......);

Then you can output html which displays a nice confirmation page.
