Thumbs up Need a contact form

Hello,

I need a contact form on my website, that will send to my email address what the visitor enter in the form fields. The problem is that I can't run any php scripts.. is there a way to use some html form?

Re: Need a contact form

If you set the action property of the HTML form to mailto:youremailaddress it will send the form contents as a string. Make sure you name each of the text fields etc to something sensible so you will recognise them. Its not great because all the info will be in one long string, but it does work.

Oh and i see your new caros why dont you introduce yourself in the welcome forum!

Re: Need a contact form

Be aware any non-serverside solution like those recommended will result in your email address being harvested by email bots. I.E. you'll get load more spam.

Alternatives are to use Javascript or a Flash form. These can be pretty complicated though.

Lightbulb Re: Need a contact form

Thank you for your suggestions! I found a site that offers remotely hosted contact forms, Email Me Form™ - HTML Forms, Web Forms, PHP Forms . Basically, I paste the html code in my website, and it calls the php script on their server who sends the email.
