No direct email link required

How can I get a link to send email directly? I don't want to use Outlook to send email. I want to send an email by clicking the submit button without opening the eexpress look and feel and use it.

HTML cannot send email directly. You need server code that can handle the request to send email. What language are you trying to do this in?

If you are using .net you can go into the system.net.mail namespace.



It's pretty easy to use.

You doubt it's not that clear. If all you need is an email to send, you could place a link / button that sends a request to the CGI server to complete the task. But the reason is that the email will be sent from the server using whatever email address / domain is available there.

If you need to have a way to send an email from a user from within the browser, I would say this is a bad idea as it causes a lot of security / privacy issues. In fact, if any javascript (or something similar) sends emails, I consider it a security breach :)
