Form submit email link
You want to create a form that submits an email link. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve that:
HTML Form
<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name"><br><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email"><br><br>
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
In the above code:
action
attribute specifies the email address that the form data will be sent to.method
attribute specifies the HTTP method to use when submitting the form (in this case,post
).enctype
attribute specifies the encoding type for the form data (in this case,text/plain
).- The rest of the code defines the form fields (name, email, and message).
Note: Make sure to replace [email protected]
with your actual email address.
How it works:
- When the user submits the form, the browser will open the default email client with a new email message.
- The email client will populate the
To
field with the email address specified in theaction
attribute. - The form data (name, email, and message) will be included in the email body.
Security considerations:
- Be cautious when using this method, as it can be vulnerable to spam and phishing attacks.
- Make sure to validate and sanitize the form data to prevent malicious code from being injected into the email.
- Consider using a more secure method, such as using a server-side language to handle the form submission and send the email.
