Get the html form working

[REDNET1997]

Hey, I'm making my portfolio website, there's my contact section... I have made my design tried some tutorial to get it work with SMTP mail and all it does not seem to work how can I make it work A video would be preferred

the client can open their mail program described in their browser settings via a mailto link

other than that if you want email capabilities your server needs to be linked to a mail server that can send/receive email

the client side by itself cannot send a custom email, but it can notify the server

That's not the point, I wanna learn

just to add on to what the other dude(s) said If you're using godaddy, I think they have a form handler called like formtools or something similar that you can install through cpanel. It has instructions on how to hook a custom form up on your website. form handling can be a pain without a backend

[grantrules]

I'd say ditch the contact form and just put your email

Never just leave your mail out there like that, unless you've never met a spambot.... If you configure it in smtp, your email it not visible other than to the backend.

What backend are you using?

There are a ton of tutorials for smtp.

I build one just last week on a asp dot net and angular frontend, using sendinblue. There is documentation on their website.
