email form

[Mr. Rogers]

does anyone know where i can get some code for an email form? i want to put something on my site that people will be able to type into and email me. all i need is a box for name/email address and a comment box. thanks.

If you use the command (in generics)
<a href="mailto:address@whatever.com">text</a>

When they click on it, their default mail program pops up with a blank email addressed to you.

As for forms, I don't like to mess with them, so I can't help you there. The main HTML reference I use is

I know the address sounds wierd, but the site is clean.

What language are you looking for it in? PHP, perl, java, C shell?

for the form:

Code: Select all

<form action="mailme.php" method="post">
Name/email address: <input type="text" name="name">

Message:

<textarea rows="8", cols="20"></textarea>

<input type="reset"><input type="submit">
</form>

Of course, you can and should change that to make it look better, but that is a working form. It requires a "mailme.php" in the same directory, but you can substitute a perl script or asp program or whatever you want. I could probably write the php code for you if you have a host with php support.
