Opinion on email contact form or email link?

On my new site, one of the calls to action for the reader is to send an email to the Mayor. I was going to use a basic email link and populate the subject line and the first line of content, but some have suggested that users like the idea of a form they fill out versus an email link. The form would have stuff like "enter your email, add your comments" etc. I can see the value in this but are there any trends in users to suggest they like one better than the other?
That said, I have never built an email form and have no experience in php. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial? It would also be great to add an "add me to your email list" for updates.
Thoughts and help much appreciated,
Gary

Is there a way to have a checkbox like YES, SEND ME UPDATES?
yes, you can add extra fields, checkboxes, radiobuttons, etc.
Just install the script and try it out, it is not that difficult.
It will just send the form though, like garywpaul says you may want to get it into a database.
Never tried that, there is some info on this on the site of the maker: http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/send-form-data-elsewhere
If it becomes too difficult just sort the addresses in your mail client.
Since the email is going to the Mayor, is there a way to moderate the emails (ie: read them first before sending them on) to make sure that there is nothing inappropriate? Is this poor form? It's a controversial topic so I would imagine that the opposition could bombard the form and put in lots of misleading emails. What do you think?
I don't know. If you are his secretary you might stand up as his gatekeeper. If you are the designer or webdeveloper I'd say this is not your task.
Or maybe the mayor has his own people that will do that for him?
If you are afraid that people will bombard him with e-mails you might reconsider using a contactform and using an email link instead (with a special email address for this purpose)
With an e-mail link people will have to use their own e-mail program and they are less likely to bombard the man with all kind of crap.
(Although the script can check whether the e-mail address is a valid address, it cannot know if it is real address of the person sending the mail.)
[edit]
If you need a way where people can react/give their opinion on certain matters you could also considering setting up a WordPress site for this occasion.
People can leave comments and you will have a lot of control on the process.
Like that people need to subscribe before they can comment, you can hold comments for moderation etc.
Just a thought...
[edit]
I think I misunderstood what you are trying to do. It is *your* site, not a site for the mayor right?

Hello,
I tried to create a contact form, using email to send, and I
have some issues and questions:

2. If user enter her email address, this form will send to
her email address and me, but it does not send to her email
address.
Can anyone please take a look at my code below?
Why I don't get the output (result) I like to have?

You also have a problem with an cfmail tag without the

You also have some problems with your if/else logic.

Email contact form

When testing the email contact form on the site i've just put together for iphone, when you go to fill the form in, the page zooms in really hard and you cant get out of it. You have to go into the url and take out the #last part of the address to get it to display properly again
Any ideas?

Yes of of course Parikshit;

Contact Form with Email PHP not working?

Hello !
Here is a link to my contact form:
http://bayareafacepainters.com/quote_face_painting.html
Here is the tutorial I am following to set up the Form to Email PHP
http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php
My form is not working. It is not sending me the email, and the "Thank you for contacting us page" is not showing up either. Is this a simple fix? I am not an expert coder, any help on what I am doing wrong or missing would be helpfull!

Thank you for the suggestions... I cleaned up the names, and so I guess I am supposed to match the names in the form to the PHP, so I changed the PHP to reflect the names of the fields in the form... it seems there may be more areas where I need to do this... What else does this need to work properly?

Email Contact Form Problem

I have set up a contact form on my website to be e-mailed to an e-mail address I have set up for the site on clicking the "submit" button. I have apparently succeeded in associating the PHP script to the form, as I get the PHP error message every time I click the submit button to show the e-mail has not been sent. Having worked my way down to the simplest of PHP scripts and triple checking all my variable details are matching the names in the HTML, I tried checking with my host Netcetera if there was something I needed to do at their end.
They replied "The form mail should be authenticated with a valid email address and its password. Please use SMTP host as mail.netcetera.co.uk"
I cannot find anyway of doing this directly in Dreamweaver nor any guidance on Adobe on how to do this.
Any ideas?
Gordon (Obviously a newbie)

You should probably check to see if it will even run PHP. Have you created a page with a php extension and if so does it display correctly?
Sometimes the script needs to be in a folder with permissons that allows scripts to run, which you might be able to do with a CPANEL control somewhere or a folder called scripts.
You shouldn't be required to use their script and should be able to write your own (I purchased software to do this, as I don't writ PHP mail processing scripts).
Jim
PS. Another thing that I have come across is that the sending email (from in your script) must actually be an email address. So if you are wanting to send a confirmation email, that address that is sending it to the form filler outer it can't be a junk address. If you can set up an email account for this form, I would suggest [email protected] (with your domain information of course).

Email Contact Form : Form Script Error PHP

Hi there,
Just finished creating my site and it is now live. This is my first time making a website and uploading it to a server. I have a contact form on the site and when I tested it, I got this warning (blue box just blocks website name for safety):
As well, when I exported the HTML from Muse so I could upload it to the server, I got this warning (blue boxes just blocks email and website for safety):
I am not sure how to fix this as this contact page is something very important for me to have. I use Gmail for my email that will be receiving the contact form entries.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I actually got it working! I got in contact with my server and they seem to have fixed the issue!
I had it uploaded to business catalyst originally and this issue was not happening.
Thanks for your help though,
Jonathan

Simple contact form that emails resutls

Hi Folks,
using jdev 11.1.1.3
I need to construct a simple contact form that takes the results of the input boxes and emails it to a specified reciptient. It should be easy but I can't find any references to constructing such an app anywhere in the documents. Can someone point me to a simple tutorial that may exist out there?
Thanks much,
Pat

You probably need to write some Java class that will do the email sending using Java Mail:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-139225.html
Then you can expose this class as an ADF data control and bind a JSF page to that method.

Where is the contact form or email? I need to talk...

I am needing a subscription because I have to join conference calls. I got a trial subscription and it never worked-when I tried to dial in it just said I needed to get a subscription or pay as you go.

Can someone get back to me asap and I need a way to contact skype I cannot believe there is not contact button on the website or email address!

Can anyone help with my PHP contact form please!

Hi all,
I've just implemented the email contact form as described in the PHP Solutions book by David Powers and it is working fine.
What I'm having problems with is my form is at the bottom of a long page and you have to scroll or click a link to get to it, which means that when the submit button is pressed, whether the form is successfully submitted or a field hasn't been completed, the user ends up back at the top of the page having to scroll back down to the form before they can see the feedback (either thanking them for submitting or pointing out that they have tried to submit an incomplete form).
Can anyone tell me how I can make the page redirect upon clicking submit so that the user returns to the part of the page where the form is so they can see the feedback instead of going to the top of the page where the form is out of view.
Many thanks,
Karl.

I've attached the entire code from the page plus the css so you can see what's going on and in additiion I've put in the corefuncs.php include code.
Hope that's enough, thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Karl.

Adobe Muse Contact Form is not sending messages

Hi, I have a website live, created with Muse CC and hosted on Adobe Business Catalyst. The domain used is from GoDaddy. I have made a contact form and have linked 3 different emails to the form to receive inputed messages. I have tried many times to send info using the contact form, testing to see if it would send to any of my emails. I have not been able to receive any messages so far and have even looked in the spam and junk folders on all 3 email accounts(yahoo, gmail, and outlook) and nothing has been received. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to use this site but cannot until this is fixed.

Have you already contacted BC support for this issues, if yes then please provide me the ticket number , I will have a look.
If not then please join live chat with BC support team.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Contact form for iweb?

Im just starting to play with the new iweb 08. The contact links are just simple mailto links. Is there a way to add a contact form? Mailto links tend to attract a lot of spam.
Thanks

I have used some of the forms from Form Logix...
http://www.formlogix.com/CreateWebForms.aspx
They have a wide variety and are very easy to use. The downside is that you are required to have their logo on them - to offset the cost of the free email service I guess.
This method of getting form information is a lot quicker than setting up your own form mail on a server. You can direct the replies to any email account on your Mac.

I use a widget contact form on my site. It appears and works in IE but does neither in FF 5. I can send the code if that'll help. Thanks. BTW - love Firefox.

Here's the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertWidget.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">if (WIDGETBOX) WIDGETBOX.renderWidget('285b17b6-6399-4846-810f-366828b3d6d7');</script><noscript>Get the <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/contact-emailer-version3-rajwidgetbox">Email Contact Form with Twitter, Facebook & Skype</a> widget and many other <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/">great free widgets</a> at <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com">Widgetbox</a>! Not seeing a widget? (<a href="http://docs.widgetbox.com/using-widgets/installing-widgets/why-cant-i-see-my-widget/">More info</a>)</noscript>

if you're testing locally, you probably have a security sandbox issue. fix it here:

otherwise, you don't have username and password defined on the timeline that contains your button and/or your button is a movieclip button

Opinion on email contact form or email link?
