[edit]Note to the OP: the word "Me" contains two letters, not 102. Only one of these should be a vowel. Spelling words to sound like you are whining makes you appear to be a child - OriginalGriff[/edit]

Here is a form I use...

Adapt to your own needs.

XML

<form action="../" enctype="text/plain">
                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
                    <input name="customername" size="60"
                        style="background-color: #FFFFCC; text-align: left;" type="text"

You cannot send mail directly from HTML form. You can send the mail through default mail provider set up on the client machine(Ex.Outlook) like this,

<a href="mailto:name@xxx.com">name@xxx.com</a>

So, when you click the mail id it will directly open Outlook.

Or

You you can use .Net technology and use the below link.

Almost right, Toniyo. The correct way is to say that it will send the mail through the default mail provider set up on the client machine.

Yes. You are right. Thanks

Do it from the code behind: there is a generic method here: Sending an Email in C# with or without attachments: generic routine.[^]

Next time, (apart from learning to spell simple words) try to use Google first.

That said, one cannot "send" e-mail from HTML. One can only post data needed to send e-mail. What the server does with the data is beyond HTML. A 5 for good reference.
