Email form

[Chris Carlson]

I would like to add a form on my web page where the viewer can send email to a selected person. Now I do not want them to be able to type in the email address to send to, but maybe a pulldown menu where they could select the person to send to. Anyone know how to do this? The mail form generator doesnt specify about creating a box to send to, of course it could be quite dangerous to have a mail form where anyone could send email to anyone, but I want to limit it to a selected staff members of my site. Any suggestions would be great

Thanks

Thanks for that script but what I am looking for is one that will send an email directly from the web page like a form but without using the email software. One that the user can select the person they wish to email.

Do a search on these forums for cgiemail[nbsp][nbsp]. . . I think it'll fit the bill.
