How to send email from html web page?

In my website I want to replace simple email link like <a
href='mailto:...'> with link to my own web page from where visitor can
send me email. Reason that 'mailto' link opens usually Outlook which in
many cases is not set up yet. So people got confused and emails are not
sent.
Can anyone tell me what should I do or use in order to implement such
page?

A lot of appreciations to any response.

<form action='http://www.bluehost.com/bluemail'
enctype='multipart/form-data' method='POST'>
Name: <input type='text' name='Name'>

Email: <input type='text' name='mailfrom'>

Street Address: <input type='text' name='StreetAddress'>

City: <input type='text' name='City'>

Zip: <input type='text' name='Zip'>

Phone: <input type='text' name='Phone'>

<input type='hidden' name='sendtoemail' value='user@your domain.com'>

<input type='submit' value='Send Email'>
</form>

The lines that I have to change is http://www.bluehost.com/bluemail and the value, that is because those lines are from another hosting company.

 

Hi,
I posted the code for a Contact page in this thread:

You can use ASP.NET or Classic ASP methods but with static HTML all you can use is mailto tags.

If you find a way for your form to post emails would you let me know?


Mark's solution is probably good for most programmers. I'm new at this asp thing and not a pro and frankly, that code caused so many errors in my vb web developer that I thought the error page was actually going to come through the screen and smack me.


I need something simple, like it was for years:


<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="MAILTO:[email protected]" " ENCTYPE="text/plain">

 

Danny, searching around I found a link to this article:

But first take a look at this:

I haven't had time to check it, but it sounds like what we need. I'll check it tommorrow.

 

There are Contact pages on customer sites here I've done with ASP and ASP.NET, both are good for this.
If you get in a pinch I'll set one up for you on your site.
There's much more you can do actually, DASP provides many components for both ASP and ASP.NET
PHP can be used too but I do not mess with PHP.
Salute,
Mark

 

Thank you Mark. The problem I have is that I'm not a programmer. I'm just a guy who is putting his family geneology website out there.


Don'tneed anything fancy, just need it to send the forms asemails to me.
Judging from the look of your code, I'm guessing that you are much more savvy than me in this programming. For me to use your code, well, it's kind of like the inventor of the wheel trying to build a spaceship. It's a few steps away yet for me, I'm afraid.

I will look at some other sites and see if I can glean any helpful info for sending form information by email.

Thank you again,
John

Got it. Done. Houston we have lift-off!

I hope I didn't offend. Studying your code was a good saturday afternoon challenge.

Thank you,
