How to embed an email form into a HTML web page?
What I'm trying to do is place an email form inside my web page so all a visitor has to do is type in their email address and their message. When they send the email I want it to be sent to a specific email address (not listing it here) with a specific subject along with it "Camper Van Wedding Hire". Then the email I receive must contain the visitors entered email address so it can be replied to. Can anyone link me to a tutorial on how to do this?
Thanks,
Anthony
Ari Joon, I am wanting a form which visitors to my website can simply put in their email address and a message which will then be sent to my email address which is a hotmil one. It's not about me having an email address for my website but simply setting up abox to make it easier for any visitor to contact me though the website itself.
just "JR" I do not know if it is possible but the method i want to use will not open any sort of email client for the visitor to the page but will simply send the contents of the message and the inputted email by the visitor to my email address. Or even could I just have it as a text field which you type the info into and that is sent to the email address. Setting up an email from the website to send the information from within the website is no trouble if needed. Sorry if that doesn't make too much sense.
Sorry, my bad just "JR", I miss read the option 2 of your post, i think that is exactly what I was looking for, if it is I will rate it best answer ASAP.

Two opions:
1. use the mailto() HTML function (which only works 40% of the time, because people do not set-up their "default emailer" correctly).
2. Use a server-side language to process your email. Check the free "form to email" script from http://web2coders.com./

Which language are you going to use ? You can use the HTML form components (textbox, combobox, submit button, etc..) to make a form to be filled by the user. Then, you have to write the code to save the data entered into an Access db. For this purpose, you need to know a web programming language like, ASP, ASP.Net, PHP, etc.. Which one are you familiar ? :)

Dude if I understood your question you are trying yo send email from your website. In that case your web host should provide you with email client (which mostly do) and then you can send whatever you want to whoever you want from your website. I know how to do it using php. I don't think it's possible in html only. Tell me if you want the php code and I explain it to you.
