How to create action in dreamweaver for mail

In Dreamweaver, you can create an action to send an email using the "Send Mail" action. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

Make sure you have a form in your HTML file that collects the necessary information (e.g., name, email, message).
Create a new JavaScript file or open an existing one.

Step 1: Create a new JavaScript file

In Dreamweaver, go to File > New > JavaScript.
Name your file (e.g., "sendmail.js") and save it in the same directory as your HTML file.

Step 2: Write the JavaScript code

In the JavaScript file, add the following code:


function sendMail() {
var name = document.getElementById("name").value;
var email = document.getElementById("email").value;
var message = document.getElementById("message").value;

var mailTo = "[email protected]"; // Replace with your email address var subject = "Contact Form Submission"; var body = "Name: " + name + "\r\nEmail: " + email + "\r\nMessage: " + message;

var mail = document.createElement("a"); mail.href = "mailto:" + mailTo + "?subject=" + subject + "&body=" + body; mail.click(); }

Replace `[email protected]` with your actual email address.

**Step 3: Add the JavaScript file to your HTML file**

1. In your HTML file, add a `<script>` tag to link to your JavaScript file:
```html
<script type="text/javascript" src="sendmail.js"></script>

Step 4: Add a form button to trigger the action

In your HTML file, add a form button that will trigger the sendMail() function:

<form>
<!-- Your form fields here -->
<input type="button" value="Send Email" onclick="sendMail()">
</form>

Step 5: Test the action

Save both files (HTML and JavaScript).
Open your HTML file in a web browser.
Fill out the form fields and click the "Send Email" button.
The email should be sent to the specified email address.

That's it! You've created an action in Dreamweaver to send an email using JavaScript.
