Visitor feedback via forms without ASP/PHP?

Hi all,

I'm trying to cobble together a feedback-option for visitors: couple of
questions such as "On a scale from 1 to 5, how would you rate..."

Thing is, I want to run this thing strictly client-side. I know that the
Internet Explorer/Outlook-combo can automagically mail the contents of a
page's form to me, but that shuts out all people who use
Mozilla/Netscape/Opera/...you get my drift.

So here it is: how do I, using only JavaScript and basic HTML, create a
webpage that allows visitors to enter text, click radiobuttons and the like,
after which their answers are mailed back to me?

Thanks a million,

Use someone else's server-side script. There are many free services
available. Look for Response-o-Matic, and Bravenet.com for starters.

Searching for free form mail on Google should give you more results, but
it shouldn't be necessary.

By the way, it would be extremely difficult and very unreliable to do what
you ask client-side. A server-side approach is your only viable option.

Hello everybody, I hope anybody can help me. I'll try to give a brief overview of my problem. I have running a program that performs a heavy calculation. To give the user feedback what the program is doing I show a window which contains a progress bar and a label. At some point during the execution the state of the calculation is changed, so I want to let the user know this. I have placed the creation of the form in a seperate thread...

I've been playing with C# v2.0 today, and having quite a bit of fun. The new version has added iterators. The iterators are coded directly into the class to be iterated. For example: public IEnumerable<int> Visit(SomeVisitor visitor) { int position = 0; for(int i = 0; i < Count; i++) {

I am planning a very large project in vb.net and I want to make it modular. If the project needs 200-300 forms what do you think about creating a user control for each of these forms? The main program would dynamically load, place and dispose each one as required. Is this a good idea from application size, modularity, performance of slower PC's, etc. I am also considering creating all modular forms dynamically. The main program would...

New on November 28, 2005 for www.FluffyCat.com PHP 5 Design Pattern Examples - the Visitor Pattern. In the Visitor pattern, one class calls a function in another class and passes an instance of itself. The called class has special functions for each class that can call it. With the visitor pattern, the calling class can have new operations added without being changed itself.

Greetings, this week we let go of all that algebraic stuff and concentrate a bit more on what object oriented programming is all about. Java claims to support OO, so why not use it? In this week's article we're going to talk a bit about when and why to apply certain patterns. We'll start with the Visitor pattern. The pattern is also named 'double dispatch' which will become clear near the end of this little article. Here's the...

Design Patterns: Visitor Introduction Polymorphism requires a class hierarchy where the interface to the hierarchy is in the base class. Virtual functions allow derived classes to override base class functions. Applications using polymorphism typically have functions with base class pointers or references as arguments. Then derived objects are created and used as arguments to these functions. Inside the function, only the base class methods...
