Re: "Send this page" code ?

message from ina_ on 20 Jul 2004

Thank you for answering me ! I try to be more specific and explain what I want
to do: when the client presses an image link, another window opens. The newly
opened window contains a form, he insert his email, the email ot the receiver,
and an additional message (optional). The text of the website or its url is
attached as a hidden message to the message that will be sent. Then he presses
a send button and the message is sent.
I've checked the links, that you've offered. The one with the javascript sends
the message from the current email of the sender (he doesn't have an option for
choice) and opens Outlook Express. I wouldn't like Otlook, Eudora, etc. to be
part of the process.
I couldn't find a tutorial at the site of Macromedia Extensions. The one,
cited by Google refers to a "Send this page to a friend" option at the end of a
tutorial. I've tried to use it and change the code but something just didn't
work out.
I guess that I can do waht I want by defining specific options of Submit
button, but I don't know how.
So, I'm still waiting for advices.

Then you're going to need this on the server-side. You'll need to use a
programming language like ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, etc.

So, it all depends on what language you want to use. I'd suggest a search on
google using the language of your choice and "send page as email script"

Perhaps, before making that decision, it would be good to check the host
to see what language(s) it supports.
