html button to send email

Question

How do I send an email with specified initial values for the headers subject and message from a button in html, such as this

Answer 1

You can not directly send an email with a HTML form. You can however send the form to your web server and then generate the email with a server side program written in e.g. PHP.

The other solution is to create a link as you did with the "mailto:". This will open the local email program from the user. And he/she can then send the pre-populated email.

When you decided how you wanted to do it you can ask another (more specific) question on this site. (Or you can search for a solution somewhere on the internet.)

Answer 2

You can use mailto, here is the HTML code:

<a href="mailto:EMAILADDRESS">

Replace EMAILADDRESS with your email.
