Hey all,

Hope you can help me. I have a page on my site that I want people to be able to mail back to my own email address. Are there any scripts or codes that will allow me to do this?

See, I have a table set up with links and when someone clicks on a link to order a product, it takes them to a 'confirm order' page that I made up.

If the customer wishes to continue with the order, I would like them to email me that page by just clicking on an 'email this to:' button.

I would also like them to be able to fill in their name and address and send it to me as well on that page before sending it to me, but I don't know how to do this either.

Hope this is understandable. If not, email me and I can then try to explain more if you want.

Much appreciation!

So you have an order page, they select what orders they want, then fill in their name and other details, and click the order button - gotcha, use this script:

-----

<form name="form1" action="mailto:youremail@whatever.com" enctype="text/plain" method="post">
<input TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="order1" VALUE="Do you want to order product 1?" CHECKED><br><input TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="order2" VALUE="Do you want to order product 2?">
<br><input TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="order3" VALUE="Do you want to order product 3?" CHECKED><br> Please fill in your name <br> <input TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name" SIZE="30"> <br> <input TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit">

Remember to change the form to your specifications and change your email

note that the code stormx posted will NOT work in most browsers. you will instead need to use a form that uses server side processing.

search the forum and you should find tons of threads on this.

If I modified it to suit my needs, would lissa's email form work for most browsers?
Thanks

no, that's what the code that stormx posted is. the form action="mailto:..." does not work in most browsers (they just open the default mail application), and that's what Lissa's email form code uses.

Where would I get one of these that would be as simple as Lissa's email form?
Thanks.
