Need JavaScript "Contact Us" page sample

[Codepoet42]

I'm a Windows programmer but I'm not a Web developer. I need to create a simple "Contact Us" page using HTML and JavaScript if possible. I've searched online for a sample or snippet of such a page, but so far I haven't found what I need. All the source for similar pages I try to view apparently has an external .js page linked in for the functionality I need.

Simply put, I just need an input box where the user can type his or her email address, then a comments box and a Submit button. Then, I need the code that will email the comments and address to my email address. Pretty simple, I should think.

I'd appreciate any help on getting this done.

Thanks,

Hi

All the source for similar pages I try to view apparently has an external .js page linked in for the functionality I need.

So what ? There is no technical difference between a script file linked into the page and the script itself pasted into the page.

And anyway, why you need JavaScript at all for a "cuntact Us" page ?

Sending a mail should be done server-side, so start with picking a suitable language then continue with searching the web for contact pages written in that language.

Thanks for the reply, Feherke. As I said, I'm not a Web developer, so I just assumed this type of thing could be done with Javascript.

So I'll pick a server-side language like Java, C#, Perl, PHP, etc, and then try to find sample source for a Contact Us page online. Thanks again for the tip.

Hi

Basically yes. Although I do not think too many people needs just a contact page, so is possible to not find one like that.

Maybe would be faster to search for a "form mailer" script and write the HTML document containing the [tt]form[/tt] separately.

And note that Java usually is used for web as servlet/JSP, for which you would need a servlet container. So better skip that.

I see. So it sounds like using a form mailer is the way to go. I'll look into that and avoid the Java route.

Thanks once again!
