  • 0

This is my html code for my little form. The way my ‘submit button is styled it can only be an <a>. Can I still submit this form to an email? How can I make this send to the email assigned to it? jQuery or Javascript?

For example can I use this: 

<a class="btn send" href="#send">Send</a>

versus input type="submit"?

<form action="mailto:me@myemail.com">
     <input name="name" type="text" value="" placeholder="Name" required/><br>
     <input name="email" type="email" value="" placeholder="you@yourmail.com" required/><br>
     <textarea class="message" maxlength="200" placeholder="We can answer your questions." required><?php echo $_POST[message]; ?></textarea><br>
     <a class="btn send" href="#send"><img src="img/send.png" /></a>
</form>

    You can use

    <button type=submit>Submit Me!</button>

    Also “image” buttons submit forms.

    Now, that said, you cannot directly initiate an email transaction from an HTML form. The best you can do is cause the user’s mailer to be shown, but you have precious little control over how/if that works.
