Html form submission

[Sticky]

Hey all.

I have a website for a client that includes a small submission form on the contact us page. It’s basically a page where the user fills in their name, company, date of required service and additional requirements, which is a small text area. I created it before I knew about the ‘unprofessional’ looking problem of a submitted form launching the users email client along with a bunch of warnings etc.

My client really liked this feature and I would love to include it for them but not sure how to have the form submit without warnings or even having anything to do with their own email client. Is this possible? I’m sure I’ve been on sites whereby, when I click submit (send) that’s the last I hear of it. They own a domain with space and a couple of email addresses, is there something I need to do server side (bearing in mind I’m still fairly new to this)? I say this because I figure if the domain space is theirs and the email addresses sit in that space why would another email client (i.e the users) need be to involved?

Any help or explanation would be helpful, as I am a lil confused.

Cheers

It sounds like you need to have your form communicate with PHP / ASP... or some other script. So here is what happens.... You tell the php that if someone uses this form, and clicks submit, to collect the users information, and send it to an email address. Its pretty simple really, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding several tutorials on how to build a form like this.

I would simply search for "HTML form tutorial"..... I'm sure you will find what your looking for. This is a fairly simple process, even for a beginner. It should only take you a few minutes to get it figured out, and have it up and running.

Good luck!
