how do i use javascript to e-mail something

[royjacob]

ok i'm relatively new to javascript, but i'm pretty good. one thing i've been trying to do with javascript is to send an e-mail message using javascript's Sendmail() object. However, nothing ever happens when i use it. if anyone knows how to do this, please help me.

First off, This is core javascript. It is only supported server side and to the best of my knowledge is only supported in a Netscape's Server-Side Addition. Here is a simple example of what the code looks like:

<server>
//See what's happening
if(request.method == "POST"){

//create a new mail object
var tMail = new SendMail();

//assign some values
tMail.To = request.To;
tMail.From = request.From;
tMail.Subject = request.Subject;
tMail.Body = request.Message;
tMail.Smtpserver = "mail.yourserver.com";

//Try to send
if(!myMail.send()){
   alert(tMail.errorCode() + ":  " + tMail.errorMessage());
}
else{
   alert("Mail Sent.");
}
}
</server>
<form name="MailForm" Method=POST>
To:  <input type="text" name="To"><br>
From:  <input type="text" name="From"><br>
Subject:  <input type="text" name="Subject"><br>
Message:  <TextArea name="Message" cols=50 rows=15><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send"><input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>

Hope this helps.
