This is probably a simple question but I'm having difficulty finding the solution online. I have created a simple HTML form within a JSP ('Enter name' text box and a submit button). I'm trying to find out if there is a way to send the POST information to a set email address. I don't want the user to have to pick a email to send it to which I know can be done with servlets. Rather than having the Name display when I click the submit button, I want the name to be sent to a email address that has been set on the backend. Could someone please link me to a tutorial where this can be done?
See how to send email: http://java2s.com/Code/Java/Email/Createaverysimpletextplainmessageandsendsit.htm. Text message shall contain values of form parameters - request.getParameter()

I am autogenerating some Google Forms which have the automatic email collection field enabled. I would like to make it so that each of them can only be submitted by certain emails. As such, I would like to check that the auto-collected email is an allowed email address before they submit the Form.
I would prefer not to use a regular textbox that says "enter email here", because then any user who opens the form could input an email which may not be their own.
I know I can check the email is correct after the Form is submitted, but I would prefer to do it before.
Is this possible?
Currently, it seems there is no way to validate automatically collected email before form submission.
I've got a basic contact form that asks for email address and a message, which is then emailed to me. I want to add a checkbox after the email input that gives the option to subscribe to a newsletter as well. I can do the form, I can do a newsletter sign up, I'm just not sure how to combine the two. Any ideas?
Edit: To clarify, I'm planning to use a basic html form. I was hoping there'd be someway to combine that with a mailchimp or phplist newsletter signup.
You need an onSubmit() action with a method - generally post, and you'll probably have to use PHP and link it to that page so it knows to go there to process the action =}
in that page is where the clever stuff will happen like subscribe the user.
(Connect to the DB, add the email address to said table/column etc...)
Unfortunately this is not something I can just give you a snippet to insert - it'll have to be completed your side.
I'm trying to send an email with hyperlinks with "mailto", to email me back. I'm trying to automate the replies as they come in using mailitems in VBA, for example:
Dim Item As MailItem
Set oItems = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
For Each Item In oItems
etc. And searching for key words/IDs to indicate which link the sender has clicked, however the chance of the sender changing the subject or body of the email would be a spanner in that plan.
Is there a way that I can embed some hidden data (like an ID and yes/no response, for example) in the HTML of the mailto in order to properly identify the emailer, even if they change all the visible email data, and then what is the best way of accessing that data using code similiar to the above?
Is there a better way of doing this? Am I approaching this the wrong way? or am I totally barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks for your help!
You won't be able to pass an hidden data with a mailto, everything could be changed by the sender.
A better way of doing it is to make a little form in HTML & PHP (for example), with in your emails a link to this form passing the ID in the url, then retrieve this ID in your form, then saving this ID when the form is submitted.
You could also make links in your emails pointing to a redirection page saving the ID passed in parameter in the url then redirecting to the mailto: final 'link'. It would allow you to know who clicked on which link in your emails.
i am working on a submit form in my html page. When i click submit button, i should get mail in my inbox.
So what all the procedures, i need to follow to get the output.
You need to use a server side language like PHP / ASP.NET etc. Then:
User submits form.
Retrieve the submitted information.
Send an email using the email functionality specific to the language you decide to use.
You haven't given much so this is only an outline of what you need to do to get going. You can use Google for the various areas you need to implement.
Instead of using any server, is there any plugins which can be useful

I think this might do the job for you http://www.emailmeform.com/
I've never used it, but it looks like a website that hosts the form for you and emails you the results. You'd just put the form html on your page and let them do the rest.
Hope that helps.
How can i code a HTML (using CSS) file to send an email to me(i.e. to given email-id) by the visitor of that website?
Without using a server-side language, the best you can really do is a mailto link. That will open the user's default email editor with the "To" field populated with the value of your mailto link. You can create one of those like so:
Email Me!
It is possible to provide extra information in a mailto link, to populate more fields. For example, if you want to provide a subject:
Email Me!
You can also provide a value for the body, cc and bcc but I have no idea how well those default values are supported by various email clients.
Also note that this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with CSS, which is used for styling documents. I've therefore removed the CSS tag from your question.
You cannot. You can use a tag:
Email Me
And this will open a mail client in the client side. The client must have it configured for being able to send a email.
If you want to create a form that, when the user presses a button "send" sends you a message, you must use a dynamic language such as PHP.
