make a html from without sending information to outlook?

Question

How do you make a html from without sending information to outlook but straight to your email?

Answer 1

Recommend using a server-side script language if your web site allows it. Otherwise, you will have to use a client-side dependent "mailto:" action to get the form info sent to you.



Your current hosting package MUST allow SMTP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol ) to work. Otherwise, no email can be sent.

When I was young and started doing webpages, it bothered me that I felt so limited in what I could do. Forms, data, nothing went anywhere or did anything. Couldn't send email accept through outlook. Couldn't make a guestbook unless it was an app provided by my host. Etc.



Honestly, if you're using a free webserver you probably don't have good access to what you need (a scripting language like PHP or ASP). I'd highly recommend you invest $100 and get yourself a real web host and domain if you don't already have one.



Next, learn a scripting language. You've already learned HTML. You can do this!!



I recommend http://www.w3schools.com/php/ as the perfect place for beginners to learn. This website also explains how to use the mailto() function.



PHP will open up a whole new world of possibilities.



ASP is an alternative, as I stated, and there is training for that available at w3schools also.

Answer 3

Ask your hosting provider or look through their documentation. It will usually be called a "form to mail gateway".

Answer 4

You don't use the HTML function "mailto()", you use a server-side script such as Php. (Leave mailto() to those who can't code)

Download "Form to email" from http://www.web2coders.com
