Web Forms

[Heraldeer2]

I am trying to devise a contact form on a website that when submitted does not rely on an email client (i.e. Outlook etc) to post the message to the designated recipient email address.

Any ideas?

Have a look at this:

Nice link from rojash, but it does not do what the question asks. Submit the form details without relying on the user's email client. Try Cut and Paste Scripts http:\\www.cutandpastescripts.com or Bravenet http:\\www.bravenet.com to name just two. The major problem here is that these email relays are subject to misuse by spammers and there has to be a safeguard in the code to deter this.

With these utilities you set up a Web form to collect info on what your visitors are interested in (for example) and a return email address or snail mail address for brochure etc. and the all the submissions from a particular form get sent to an email address of your choosing.

Now why don't these links come up live?

Hippy, I think you need to read the spec more carefully. That is EXACTLY what it does! I've used it myself on two sites.

rojash, I'm having a dippy day. I had another look this afternoon and you are quite right, it does. Oh, my. I'll have to keep off the Earl Grey tea, the bergamot goes straight to my head!
