Say, visitors come and fill out my HTML form, then click send.

I want it to send to my email.

Suggestions, websites?

Expand on your answer please.

I only know HTML code, anything else confuses me very easily.

  1. not too sure if you can do it using only html code but a good way is to use the action form and call an asp page from it. very simple programming in asp can help you send an email just remember that you will be required some configuration items like the details of your smtp server etc  


  2. Fill out this nice free online contact form and follow the instructions and you'll not have any problems getting the email:

    See it in action here:

    You can even set up a thank you page.

  3. You can use the mailto action for the form. Microsoft offers a Knowledge Base article on the topic at:

    However, you're not guaranteed to get mail. The mailto action invokes the user's e-mail client, but the browser security model prevents the automatic sending of the mail. The mail client opens, the form data and whatever mail-specific fields you include, e.g., to-, cc-, bcc-addresses, subject, etc. are pre-populated, but the visitor has the final decision as to whether to send.
