I have a form to enable people to provide an email address but it wont allow any input. The site is www.pbadvisory.com.au and here is my HTML code:
<form action="mailto:jdoe#pbadvisory.com.au" method="get">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress" id="newsletter_email" />
<input type="submit" id="newsletter_subscribe" value="Subscribe" name="submit" />
</form>
any suggestions to fix would be appreciated
Just went through your site. Actually it is allowing to input the text. But the text color is white and background is white, so its invisible. Change the text color so you can see it.
You cannot use a mailto: as a form action. If you want a form that sends e-mail, it must be done server-side.
Try with following Changes!
<form action="MAILTO:jdoe#pbadvisory.com.au" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress" id="newsletter_email" />
<input type="submit" id="newsletter_subscribe" value="Subscribe" name="submit" />
</form>
Form method should be 'post' not get. That's the reason for your problem. Any way here is the full code with email subject is also included.
<form method="post" action="mailto:youremail#youremail.com?Subject=Email Subject" enctype="text/plain">
E-mail:<input id="emailAddress" name="E-mail" type="text" maxlength="24" />
<input type="submit" value="Send Email" />
</form>
Hope it helped.
Update:
Just a note this is not the right way if you want users to get subscribe with your web site.

I have always wondered if this is possible in R.
On many websites, there is usually an interactive form which allows the user to send an e-mail to the owner of the website for feedback, comments, questions and suggestions:
Is it possible to create such a form within a Rmarkdown/Flexdashboard document?
I found links online that shows something similar :
https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_mail
How to send email from HTML Form
For example - I copy and paste this code in the Rmarkdown document:
<html>
<body>
<h2> Questions? Send an e-mail! </h2>
<form action="mailto:antonoyaro_9999999999999#hotmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail:<br>
<input type="text" name="mail"><br>
Comment:<br>
<input type="text" name="comment" size="50"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I think this partially worked - but is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
I’m using the FormSubmit API.
When a person fills out the form and submits it, whatever they have filled out doesn’t show and I just receive an empty form.
<section id="form-section" class="fade-contact">
<h2 id="form-title" class="fade-contact">Get in touch</h2>
<form action="https://formsubmit.co/8421d4ce6448fbeda493e2c8ce639a8e" method="POST" id="form">
<!-- <input type="hidden" name="_captcha" value="false"> -->
<!-- <input type="hidden" name="_autoresponse" value="Thank you for getting in touch!"> -->
<div class="name-email fade-contact">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="YOUR NAME" id="form-name" required>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="YOUR EMAIL" id="form-email" required>
</div>
<input type="text" name="textarea" placeholder="YOUR MESSAGE" id="form-message" class="fade-contact" required>
<button type="submit" class="btn submit-btn fade-contact">submit</button>
</form>
</section>
I corrected the name attribute to not use 2 of the same values but still it doesn’t work!
Here is an image of the formsubmitAPI website instructions

btw I hosted with netlify just incase that helps
I FIXED IT!!!!!!!
Turns out I had some JavaScript to clear the input values after submission and that was somehow affecting the form. I guess the input values were clearing before the form was submitting hence I was getting blank emails.
I just commented it out for now and will look into it later.
But…..I fixed it!! I’m so happy!
Thank you to everyone that helped
Here is my code.
<form action="MAILTO:example#gmail.com " method="post" enctype="text/file">
A3 or A4:<br>
<input type="text" name="A3 or A4"><br>
Add image:<br>
<input type="file" name="image"><br>
<input type="button" id=" value="click">
</form>
Issue: After Clicking the submit button or in this case just the button, nothing happens. I am currently using gmail so if you could please help.
First, a button of input type="button" will not prompt the POST action. You should be using a submit button:
<input type="submit" value="click"/>
Second, form action="MAILTO: " should be form action="mailto:someone#example.com".
A simple example perhaps could provide some insights. Yet, as you mentioned Gmail usage, I suggested reading Gmail API Guides in which examples of various languages are provided.
The button should have type="submit"
<form action="mailto:" enctype="text/file" method="post">
A3 or A4:<br>
<input name="A3 or A4" type="text"><br>
Add image:<br>
<input name="image" type="file"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
I am no expert in coding. As a matter of a fact this is my first true project in CSS. I created the page in Adobe Edge Reflow and exported CSS to dreamweaver. The problem I am running into is that I can't get my form to actually work. I want the form to send directly to my e-mail, in no specific format. Can anyone help me out?
<form method="post" novalidate>
<label id="formgroup">
<p id="text1">
Name*
</p>
<input id="textinput" type="text" value=" Your Name"></input>
</label>
<label id="formgroup1">
<p id="text2">
Company Name
</p>
<input id="textinput1" type="text" value=" Company Name"></input>
</label>
<label id="formgroup2">
<p id="text3">
Email*
</p>
<input id="textinput2" type="text" value=" email"></input>
</label>
<label id="formgroup3">
<p id="text4">
Message*
</p>
<input id="textinput3" type="text" value=" Your message"></input>
</label>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Send Message"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="xxx#gmail.com"> </form>
Your HTML markup seems fine for a simple form aimed to post the contents of a range of fields.
However, the HTML code (along with any CSS) will only enable you to determine the presentation/style of the form (i.e. how it looks).
Regarding the functionality of the application actually triggering an email with the form contents to an email address, this will require more code in a 'server-side' language such as PHP (HTML and CSS being 'client-side' languages).
Here is a good article that provides a tutorial on the subject: http://www.html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-form-tutorial.html
Your HTML markup is actually missing something, the "action" property, i.e.
Before:
<form method="post" novalidate>
After:
<form method="post" novalidate action="send-email.php">
As you might have guessed from looking at the above, this "action" property specifies the PHP script/file that triggers the email. And of course it is this file that you are currently missing.
Hope this helps.
I'm working on a page where I have 2 textboxes.
I want to send the user inputs for these 2 mailboxes to my email but my code doesn't seem to work. Is there anything I've missed?
<form method="post" action="mailto:youremail#youremail.com" >
First:<input type="text" name="First" size="12" maxlength="12" />
Last:<input type="text" name="Last" size="24" maxlength="24" />
<input type="submit" value="Send Email" />
</form>
Your code is correct, it does work for me. It probably doesn't work for you because you don't have an email client, or your browser turns off this feature for security (or something like that). I would recommend that you use a service to perform this action such as http://www.braveapps.com/emailfwd/ or http://allforms.mailjol.net/.
