Emailing HTML on demand

**broadvision123** · Jun 13th, 2005, 03:10 PM

I've created a configuration application that allows users to create systems which is kind of like the dell web site. When the user is finished configuring they get a summary of all the items they have choosen. I want them to be able click a button and email the content of the web page. Currently the application doesn't save the data they have chosen in a database.

Is there a way to click a button and have the currently html page sent to an email account?

Thanks!
James

I wanted to let you also know that the page I'm trying to email has panels. So when I view the source on the page I would like to send via an email I see the first panel html.
Thanks!

Use ClientSide JavaScript to read the OuterHTML of the Panel(Div) and then put it on a hidden inputfield(Serverside), then Read the value of the input field from serverside and Email it...I have used this and works like a charm. There are other ways but this is the most easiest and quick way..

Do you have the code for this? This would be a great help.

Thanks!
