Contact form for HTML website?

    How do I put a contact form on an HTML website? Something free or low cost. I don't want to leave my email address on the site.

    Thanks

    you can search the net using google, there are tremendous free resources for this, or you can have someone do it for you for $10

    If you know a bit about creating HTML forms, you can use FormToEmail.

    I went to hotscripts.com and downloaded a script, but decided to use one of the free sites from Google instead (something that was simple and didn't cause my little brain to hurt) temporarily just to get the site up and running.

    Thanks

    You could use javascript to stop spambots picking up your email address. So instead of...

    <a href="mailto:myname@somedomain.com">click</a>

    ...you could use...

    <a href="javascript:Mailer()">click</a>

    Then add this JS block:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function Mailer(){
    var Address = "myname";
    var Domain = "somedomain.com";
    location.href="mailto:" + Address + "@" + Domain;
    }
    </script>


    I broke the email address up too to make it harder to pick up. I've used this technique before and not had a problem with spam.

    I have an .asp contact us form. I think it is pretty cool. You can use it if you are using asp.
    http://www.qualclosets.com/requestmenu.h...
    This then sends the info to the asp file which then will email you or whomever you want.

    you can try the <form mail...> bit or whatever that is, but I have read that it is not very reliable. I have never tried it myself but...
    If you are using asp, feel free.

    i used 123contactform I think before - they were okay. My only problem was I put it on multiple sites and it didn't specify which site the message came from (my own fault i guess for using one email for all the sites?)

    that is a great idea. But what do you think of displaying a div and populating it on load with java script? Would spam bots be able to read the email then?
