I got a question about email forms that should be simple enough...I hope....

I have 2 input text boxes.

The first one is the subject.
The second one is the message (I'm creating email).

The "subject" input boxes' variable is subject.
The "message" input boxes' variable is message.

I also have a send button.

- Now what I want to do is after those inputs have been filled (it doesnt matter if either one is blank), I want the text in those inputs to be sent to my email address. -

PLEASE TELL ME ITS POSSIBLE!!! Desperate.

:::I dont want the mail client to popup after you hit send. No PHP.:::

yaeh you need a serverside script to do this. A server-side script means PHP, ASP, CGI, PERL... there are a bagillion tutorials out there, google.com knows where they all are...

Actually now there's a component on flashcomponents.net that you can install and use. It does name, email, and message.

Addition: Serverside scripts are written in a language that is installed on the server, and thus can't be executed if the server hasn't got that language installed. Clientside scripts are scripts written in a language (eg JavaScript) that every browser has by default, and thus everybody can execute.
