using a javascript button to send email?

[dcs619]

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a webpage - I have a place where people can vote for what they want to see on the webpage - and I want the button, when they click it, to send me an email. However, I don't want a [mailto:] box to popup.

so basically, this is what happens:
1. user decides which item to vote for
2. user clicks on button next to item
3. button click causes an email (or notification sent to me)

Can I use javascript to do this?

Thanks,
Clarke

You'll need to use some sort of server-side script to do this. PERL, PHP, or ASP can be used.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

uses mailto: which causes the default email client to pop-up, something that Clarke wants to avoid.
