I am making a form right now and i have a bit of a problem. HTML doesn`t support mail-sendings without a downloaded email program. But is there maybe a way to not just send an email but send a message instead that can be converted to email? Is there any service out there that supports this idea? I know that PHP would be the solution, but i only have access to a HTML/CSS only server. Please help me out.
You could try using an iframe for this. But you would still have to get a php file. However, you will have to host it from somewhere else. Maybe google drive? Or smth like that.
Not as far as I know, but if the website user has Gmail binded to the "mailto:" protocol there's no need for an installed software, it will redirect him/her to Gmail with the email address of the recipient already filled in

Working on a website and I want to integrate an "email" or messaging system into the website. It would be for messaging between the users/administrators of the website.
A bit more background, it is a website for a local project near me, I am creating it for the admins to be able to do everything they would need all within the website, so there would only be around 15-20 users max.
I was thinking something along the lines of a Gmail or email client integration with embedded html like you can do with Google maps, does anybody know if this is possible?
You can use formspree with simple HTML form. Users can send messages to admin by formspree that sends the messages by email. You can examine formspree there
I am looking for a way to automatically open in chrome an URL link contained in specific mails, as soon as they arrive.
Those mails always come from the same address mail (abc#xyz.com), with a similar title, and they contain only one URL link with the same beginning: " http://www.abcd.com/..."
I'm using the app mail on a mac.
I created a rule in mail:
If a New mail arrives and the address contains "abc#xyz.com"
Then run Script "XXX".
I now can't seem to find a way to make this script work. I could use AppleScript ou JavaScript, but I was told Javascript will be better for this purpose. What do you think?
Is there a way to run HTML scripts in an iOS application? I want to send an email using a script when a UISwitch us on, because I have to send encoded data that I do not want the user to accidentally modify. I have an option in my app preferences that will allow users to send debugging data to me so I can fix the app, kind of like what Adobe did in their mobile Photoshop app. The best way I can think of doing this is to use the HTML script below:
Also, will my app be rejected if I include that?
Take a look at MFMailComposeViewController: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MessageUI/Reference/MFMailComposeViewController_class/Reference/Reference.html
And send your debug data an attachment (addAttachmentData:mimeType:fileName:) so the user can't modify it. The user can't modify attachments, only delete them, so warn the user to not delete the attachment.
Using an HTML link like that will still open the mail app and let the user edit the message before sending.
Can we specify to use a particular email client while using
<a href="mailto...
In my system it opens Microsoft Outlook. But what if someone does not have Outlook on his system? On such systems clicking the mailto link does nothing.
No you can't. You can specify the email address, subject and some other parameters for the mail client. But which mail client is started is something the browser decides. It would be quite a security risk if you could decide that as a web developer.
It will open in the system's default email client. If the user does not have one selected, there's nothing you can do about it.
There is much more you can use, but each system will act differently, for example in mine, I set up that all mailto links would open GMail.
mailto is a call to open the default mail browser, like using a link in a windows application will open the default browser and not a special browser if you have more installed.
The best way is always to create a form and send it by, either using the web server internal SMTP or using one of so many free scripts out there that sends everything in the form to a specify email.
and by the way, you can compose more than just the email address
<a href="mailto:me#domain.com?subject=Call me&body=Call me to this number:">
call me</a>
You, as the site author, have no say. A mailto: link is supposed to launch the user's default mail program. Some users don't have a mail program though (think webmail users.)
The solution is to not use mailto: links but instead create a server-side form on your site, that does the actual mail sending.
On a Windows machine the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command] contains the path to what program will open mailTo links. As such, it's not always the default mail program. I agree with Balexandre's idea that a web form gives you the most control though.
I'm just finishing a web page for our sales guy to quickly go through a list of contacts.
Is it possible to initiate a call from our Vonage line via a Hyperlink?
They offer an application called "Click-2-Call" but I hope it's possible to initiate it using only a Hyperlink.
This would probably require an addon to support a custom protocol that allows your Vonage system to function in this way.
I imagine that something like
Call 123-456-7890
Where the "phone" protocol would be recognized as a phone number that could be called by some default voip program. Then, setting Vonage to handle that protocol would allow this to work.
But, I don't believe that this is currently the case.
Yeah, this is speculation but I know skype has a browser plugin that looks at each web page and find the phone numbers and makes them clickable. It probably just sends some info to the skype client on the machine to make the call.
I haven't seen click-2-call before.
This would be interesting to implement in an app with a PBX system as well :)
Please let us know if you find some good info!
Maybe you could use a packet sniffer like Ethereal to see what gets sent where when you use click-2-call. It'd be pretty cool to create an outlook extension to dial my Vonage line, I don't like click-2-call very much.
