Re: how to send email using HTML code
Do you mean something like this?
HTML Code:
<a href="mailto:email@address.com">Text For Link Here</a>

Re: how to send email using HTML code
to have a subject pre-inserted, use:
HTML Code:
<a href="mailto:username@domain.com?subject=YOUR%20SUBJECT%20NAME">email me</a>

Re: how to send email using HTML code
I think you are asking how to send an email using html code. well you cant do that. Html is not really a programming language, it is mostly design. You can send emails with PHP/ASP(.NET) and other server side scripts

Re: how to send email using HTML code
Why is that not possible send a mail using <a href ></a>. I found this most of the web sites.

Re: how to send email using HTML code
Because it's not. You can't send mail that way. The user's email client is actually sending the mail, assuming they have one loaded

Re: how to send email using HTML code
Ok, that's why need to use server side applications, to avoid the use of user's email client ?

Re: how to send email using HTML code
It depends exactly what you want to achieve. The original question didn't specify.
You can either send an email through your site (for example, a Contact Us form), in which case you need a server-side script, or you can make a mailto:address@example.com hyperlink, which triggers the user's mail client if they have one installed.

Re: how to send email using HTML code
Right, to avoid use of the user's email client, you need a serverside solution. There's no shortage of canned scripts out there for a thing like this.

Re: how to send email using HTML code
But there are lots of server side languages. ASP, PHP, JSP and many more. How we decide the best one. Is it depends on the application which are going to develop, or depends on the skills of the programmer.

Re: how to send email using HTML code
it really depends on what kind of platform you have available
ASP(.net) - Windows Only Platform
PHP - -nix Platforms, and windows
JSP - -nix, windows
ColdFusion - Windows
etc, etc, etc... I personally favor PHP

Re: how to send email using HTML code
Thanks. I got the point.
But is it depend on the application? I heard that using PHP we can develop much safety applications rather than using ASP.Net, I mean there in PHP comes with higher security features than ASP.Net.
Is that true.

Re: how to send email using HTML code
No. How secure your website/web application is depends on the programmer.
We should probably also wait for the original poster to clarify the question.

Re: how to send email using HTML code
no they dont. The source you see if HTML, but their server side script sends the emails.

Most of such commercial web sites do not use simple HTML. Scripting make sence to them.
