  • Form to Email (but as HTML)

    That's it. I'm at desperate point now.

    Somehow I have got to maintain the html format of a form page and have it emailed to an email address.


    Yes I know its bad to send html webpages to email addresses, but in this case its okay because we know who the email is going to.

    Our server does not support PHP.

    It does support ASP however.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction of a script or anything??

    And yes I have been everywhere.

        I don't know ASP, but can't you have it send a file as an e-mail attachment?

          Of course, if you are willing to require that the sender have a properly configured email client, you can just do this:

            If the email must be in HTML format, format it on the ASP side and append whatever noise you need around the actual content. Save an HTML email message to a file and open it with a text editor to figure out what you need to do.

              actually we are the user end, so all I need to do is get the email sent as html

              and believe me, I have tried all those google combinations and about 100 more.

                An HTML email is just a plain-text email with a bunch of hidden crap added. Reverse-engineer the source code of an existing HTML email, and add that crap in ASP.

                  What about adding your HTML code and then sending it encoded as text/html (i.e. set the enctype attribute on the form to text/html)? Would that work?

                    St Leo. I'm not proficient in ASP, so I'm trying to find an easier route for now until I have grasped more ASP knowledge.

                    Mercator, I was thinking of trying that, but it feels too easy to work. But, *sigh* I will give it a try..

                      Does your server support CGI/Perl? There are some formmail scripts that run on CGI/Perl.
