I've been coding a website, it's nearly finished but I want users to be able to sign up for a newsletter. I've found that you can use the submit button but I don't know how to. How do you get the button to email you the information? Any help appreciated, thanks.
Typically the page contains a series of input elements ( think text boxes etc) which the user puts their data in to, the submit button POSTs a form to the server, the server can then access those form values and use them as required.
So in your scenario the server received an email address and name, for example, and you have an email library which can send that information to you. Alternatively of course you might put that information in a database so you can more easily handle subscriptions.
Look at this tutorial how get user email and save in database.

I want to create a feedback form where the users input data and when they press submit button, all the data entered is received by the admin at an email address which has been predefined in the code.
i don't want to use "mailto" as it opens another service. Is there any way to send data to email through the HTML form itself?
Forms send data to the URL specified in the action attribute.
mailto: URLs, which you have sensibly ruled out, are highly unreliable.
The only other kind of URL which can be usefully used is an http(s) URL where it is then processed by server side code.
If you want to send the emails to a different address then you need to change the server side code so it doesn't use a single address.
After a lot of research, I have decided to use https://formsubmit.co for this purpose. The details are present in their documentation.
It was exactly what I wanted, and completes my requirements. Thank you to everyone for their help.
I'm working on a project that I'm using stripe to handle payment processing, as part of this I've created a form for collecting card information, my problem is that I want to submit some of the data to be sent to my server (like name and email address), but other parts (the card details) I don't since they're processed by stripe so there's no point sending them to my server.
I'm not sure how I can do this though, since the input fields that I do and don't want to send are all mixed together, so I can't just wrap the parts I do want in the form tag and not the rest.
Is the a flag on a form field that I can set so that it isn't submitted with the form?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Using Javascript or Ajax may be the best way
Get values and trigger for differentes urls
Check this link: send specific part of the form fields to server using ajax?
For many I'm sure, this is an easy fix but I've tried looking into it and to be quite honest, my knowledge of coding isn't like many of you. Having said that, I've downloaded a free template and I've been able to clean things up, make it my own except for one thing. When folks want to reach me, they add their name, number, email and message in the proper fields but when they hit "Send", I want their message and info to be sent to my email address. Can you please explain how this is done? I've attached the link so you can view.

As far as i understand, first u should note that sending email needs backend management, so first you should grap all form data, then should submit a form, and finally in backend u should check submitted data and execute sending email process
Just want to ask if there is some way to add automatic email confirmation to vb.net website.
I want that user create new account in the website and the website sent the confirmation link to them. Only if the confirmation email is clicked the user will be able to fully register.
I know that there are ways with build in login page from vb. But I'm using my own login. Mainly becouse the database where user connect is MySql.
something like this: http://www.asp.net/web-forms/videos/authentication/implement-the-registration-verification-pattern
Any idea where to look? most of the google search links are with php or to Microsoft Sql.
Thanks in advance for any good link or solution.

basically, when an user registers the account, you generate a confirmation # (I will use GUID), then send the user an email with the confirmation link. the confirmation link is the url of the confirmation page with the confirmation # as parameter, i.e. www.mysite.com/confirmation.aspx?code={guid} . you save the confirmation code in the database with the user account table (it could be in the same table or a separated table). the user has to click the confirmation url to confirm. when confirm, you just need to check whether the code is the same as the Guid in the database.
Basically, the process is the same and it has no much relation with mySQL or SQL Server.
here is an example, although it is C#, the same process, just a little bit different syntax in code:

Im creating a coming soon page for a website im developing, and im adding an option for the user to enter their email address so we can email them when the site is up.
How do I do this?
In order to make a form you will need to use an HTML form to allow the user to input their email address, and then a server side technology such as php or asp.net to grab the data and either send an email directly after the form is submitted, or store in a database or text file for later processing.
You can create a simple email form by following the steps here.
Heres a solution for asp.net.
And heres one for php.
Hope this helps.
Prefinery will help you manage the entire "beta" process. If you are just looking for a simple for tool, look at emailmeform.
If you have programming experience, you could create a database and store the email address.
