Sending email from a website without server side scripting
I am trying to send a simple email from my site using an HTML form. I am not allowed to use server side scripts. I am wondering if it is possible to send a simple message from an HTML form using Jscript or Javascript or DHTML or VBscript or whatever? Thanks everyone :)
PS It can't be mailto: either. I don't expect a miracle, but we would surely be appreciated right now ...

In theory, you can use XHR cross site like methods, tagging, etc., but you need another server that supports server side scripting, you can use a simple free service like GAE as said in this silence. You will also need security, you can also use the capcha service which is also free. But it really isn't worth it.

There are email services that you can use that will integrate with your site, such as http://www.emailmeform.com/ . This one is free to use. they generate code to be included in your web page. I haven't used them, so I can't tell what their service is, but they seem to fit your requirements.
There is also http://wufoo.com if you're looking at some kind of contact form.

Check out enformed.io . You just create a form, navigate through the form and receive email responses, and you also have a couple of cool features like setting up your email, post-submission redirection.

As far as I know, this is not possible. VBScript is still a server-side script. There might be an API that you can run into with JavaScrpt to achieve what you want, but I don't know anything.
Take a look at this for more information on why a server side handler is needed.
