send mail

anyone know how to create an email form that sends whatever they write to a specific email?

Using what, just HTML?

If you want to send a form via e-mail, the easiest way can be done with pure HTML, sort of:

<form action="mailto:you@domain.com">
<textarea name="monkeypoo">
Yeah, you heard me!
</textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
The user will have to have a mail client installed, and what's more they'll be warned that the form will be submitted via e-mail. As for just sending mail without using their client like this, you'd have to use PHP, JSP, or some other server-side language.

If you use ASP you can do it using the CDONTS object


<%
Set sm = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
With sm
.From = "fromaddress@domain.com"
.To = "toaddress@domain.com"
.Subject = "subject"
.Body = "body"
.Send
End With
Set sm = Nothing
%>

PHP, it's, as usual, really easy:

<? mail('somedude@somewhere.com', 'Check this out!', 'http://www.vbforums.com/ , visit it or die'); ?>
