Hi there,

I've put together a contact form on a site I'm developing and I've styled it with CSS etc, got it all looking how I want it...............

What's the quickest and easiest way to put together the client side of it?

I used to be an ASP.NET developer, so I suppose I could put together some C# to do it, but I'm looking for an easier way to do this that doesn't require my user to have ASP.NET hosting.

Searching the net doesn't give much away I find.

Thanks,
Michael.

Use PHP. A simple formmail script can be found here:

If you are familiar with PHP, you can write you own using the PHP mail function:

You MUST user a server side language such as PHP or ASP to achieve something like this. You can always use the <form action="mailto: whoever@whoever.com">, but it will just use their mail client (Outlook) to send the form.
