To creat a submit button. How do make it to send the info to my email address?

Question

What will be the exact code

I can't see how I said value"send messge"

I guess my stupid question would be I don't need to program any ASP or CGI script in order to make a submit button work, do I? Because I only know simple coding. And I just want the info to be said to an email address

Thanks

Answer 1

You just need to change your url header, you can use any hyperlink.

Instead of using http:// use mailto://

you can also set up the subject header for your applicants.
use a question mark, followed by subject equals.

Example:

mailto:[e-mail]
?subject=RealmsAndGalaxies

The complete code would be

I am going to make an assumption here, but it is probably correct: You are talking about an HTML form, yes? With a submit button?

"Yes" is the answer -- you do need ASP or CGI script to precess this, but "NO" -- *YOU* don't need to write it!

The easiest and quickest way to do what you want is to download a pre-written form-to-email script and install it on your server. Here are links to a few, in several popular CGI/server-side languages:

Perl scripts:
http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html
http://www.boutell.com/email/

VERY basic PHP script:

ASP Script:

Answer 3

Within the Button code, link using "Mailto"

Answer 4

One really easy way, is www.jotform.com, where you can, interactively, design a form. Then you can use that form to have the output (form fields, radio buttons, etc.) mailed to an email address of your choice. (You can download the html generated by the design process and, if you wish, even restyle it to your liking.)

Another method is to use the popular formmail php script of which you may find a copy at http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/
