Feedback Forms

[jshalcott]

Well I want to add a feedback form to my website but not sure how to do it with out using a cgi, php, etc. I know there is a way of doing this without those just plain html. But I can't remember how. It is simple name, email, comments, and how to improve form. :confused:

<form method="post" action="email@domain.com">

The "mailto" action relies on your visitors mail client wich is a pretty impractical approach. You would be better off using a process that runs on your server (Server Side Scripting). Which one you use (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, CGI-Perl, JSP, ColdFusion) depends on what your host supports.

I know that it if you use ms outlook or yahoo mail that when you push the send button it just pops up your default mail. I too prefer using a server side scripting (CGI, PHP, ASP) but I was just thinking about if you just wanted to use HTML. If you don't like that it pops up your mail, or that you have to use a server side scripting you can use free ones that you build, can set it where to go after sending, and is just copy and paste codes.

Also that action was missing the mailto: protocol.
