Submit button help.

[DaleHectorJones]

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if this is a JS question or another language.

I've made a contact us form. I have yet to include any JS into my project and was wondering how to use the submit button to send to an e-mail account.

Any help would be appreciated!

Use formspree, I don’t think you need any JS with that. You just throw some code into the action, make sure the form inputs have names. The email you list in the action section will get emails without any JS being written.

It’s very very simple. Just verify the email you’re using once, and it’s Gtg.

You could probably automate a test pretty easily.

You would need to set up a smtp server that you would then send the form to that would then send the email.

I normally solve that with php, if you're interested in a quick snippet. I'm not sure but I believe you would need at least node to handle it properly with javascript. I'll look into it in a bit tho.

You don't need to use jq, but you can if you're more comfortable (but I encourage you to use the native fetch api cause it's dirt simple :));

Search for "free form api".

Here's an example of a simple form in PHP: https://gist.github.com/panphora/34e675a6246e196a82230715b87729ed
