I need a contact form for my html site?

Question

How do I make one? Are there any good contact form generators out there? Any ones that are definitely known to work? I've tried plenty but none of them seem to work properly. Thanks.

Answer 1

The first place to check would be with your Web hosting company. Often, hosting companies provide a guestbook or something similar that you can easily incorporate into your site. They should provide instructions.

Unless you want your contact form to pop up the visitors email application and send the information via email (very unprofessional looking), you will need to implement some code on the server side. This is where you will need to decide what server side language you want to use (this will depend on your hosting company as well). I personally like PHP ( http://www.php.net ), or JSP ( http://java.sun.com ), but I have used others like ASP or Perl. If you use any of these languages, find a tutorial (there are many available) that shows you how to create a form and store the information. This is one of the most basic tasks, so it won't be hard to do or to find a good tutorial.

If you don't want to store the information in a database, all of these languages provide a way to send the information via email to your address. This gives the visitor a nice user experience that does not pop up their email client.

nicely, ideas a million. study html/css :) Its no longer that not problem-free! in case you may layout it, you may construct it! 2. in case you do not comprehend them, use a provider like wufoo, click drag and layout your web site and then positioned it on yours :)

Answer 3

Your site should be able to run server side scripting so that it will be able to send an email to you from you contact form.

Most servers will be able to do it.

if your website can run php, you can uses this.
