HTML contact form

[Sunamena]

I am not sure wether to post this at Javascript, PHP or HTML, but i want to create a simple form but it does not work at all.


Quite simple what one needs to do is.

Name: (box)
E-mail adress: (box) (REQUIRED)

Specify the issue
(BOX)
Option one

Option two

...

Option six

(/BOX)
Note: They can only select one.

Message: (Box)

SEND (button)

When they click on send the information is send to an e-mail adress.

Afterwards, i want to give an: "E-mail send succesfull." message. You get the idea. How can I do this?

I tried many things, but failed.

I am gratefull and already thank you in advance for the reply =D

What does your code look like? I can't figure out why it's not working without knowing what you tried to do.

This is what the code currently looks like, i do not yet know how to give a message that says that it is succesfull tough


Here goes:

<h1>Contact!</h1>

<p>

<form

method="post"

action="mailto:support@nimblefeather.com"

enctype="text/plain">

<p>Name:

<input type="text" name="name" >

</p>

<label>* E-mailadres:

<input type="email" name="e-mailadres" required

placeholder="Required.">

</label>

<p><br>Specify the issue:<br>

<select name="locatie" size="6">

<option value="Bug-Report" selected> Bug Report </option>

<option value="Volunteer"> I want to add my comic here </option>

<option value="Report-inapropriate-material"> Report inapropriate material </option>

<option value="Copyright-inquiry"> Copyright inquiry </option>

<option value="Advise"> Advise </option>

<option value="Other"> Other </option>

</select>

</p>

<br><br>

<p>Message: <br>

<textarea name="opm" rows="4" cols="40">

</textarea>

</p>

<p>

<input type="reset" value="reset" >

<input type="submit" value="verzenden" >

</p>

</form>

</p>

You can have an onsubmit event in Javascript attached to the form. When the form submits you can add a message to the page.

 

This is a mailto form, though, so Javascript can't really know if and when the user actually sent the e-mail from their mail client.

Is it possible for you to use php or perl to process your form? You could have immediate validation with javascript backed up with a server-side validation(more reliable and hack-proof plus you can "cleanse" the input before it hits the air).
