Well, there isn't really code to submit just straight from a form to your E-Mail...

The form would need to submit to a script or application, and then THAT would have to send the E-Mail.

the code to E-Mail it depends on the language you code the script in..

If you want to write a script in PHP have a look at the mail(); function...

http://www.php.net/mail

If you just want a straight E-Mail link...

<a href="mailto:whoever@wherever.com"><img src="whatever.jpg" border="0"></a>

You shouldn't be doing webpages if you are too lazy to learn a very easy to learn language. You should just quit now and turn to watching tv.

if you are too lazy to do a google search for a php mailer than that is just sad. There are <b>tons</b> of them out there, and require very little brain activity. You would have to change very little of the script to meet your own needs, and in the meantime you would learn a thing or two.

Mkay, well, I know what this is like, so I have a script that I finally got to work, and if you want it, you may have it. It comes with installation instructions and stuff. Just make sure you've got a server that supports PHP.
http://conorific.com/contact.php You can write me a quick feedback there (that's what the form looks like) or you can PM me.
Hope I can help.

Matt's formmail script works on most servers that support Perl. It's a very popular and easy script to modify if you can follow instructions (even if you don't know Perl)
