How to use html form actions and methods

Question

Hi, I want to make a quick contact page using Edge. I used the following code in my creationComplete but had no luck.  Any help?
var na = sym.$( "email" );
email.html( '<form action="send_mail.php" method="post"><input type="text" id="email" value="" />' );
var button = sym.$( "btn" );
button.html( '<input type="submit" value="Send" />' );

My understanding from your question is that you would like to programmatically (using LabVIEW) send input to and click a button on an existing HTML website, is that right?
If yes, then you can use ActiveX calls to embed a web browser into the front panel of your VI and then use its invoke node to input a text to a form or click a button. Another way is to use the lower-level TCP VIs in LabVIEW, but you need to understand HTTP protocols to successfully use this. See below examples to get started.

FYI, LabVIEW Internet Toolkit has been deprecated starting LabVIEW 2012, so it is not recommended to build a new application using that.
Hope this helps.
