"Submit a Picture" code

[Crispy]

Is there a code where users who visit my site can send in a jpg or whatever that goes directly to my e-mail? Thank you.

Not with just pure html.

However... this is basically a form.

The form's "action" will define a next page that:
1. the browser will go to, kinda like a link
and 2. will interpret the form's data (text, your picture, whatever)

If you don't want to deal with php, cgi, asp or something like that, then you'll need to find a free form mailer/interpreter. There are quite a few around.

Just google it.

However, most of those just do text.... it'll mail you a comment or whatever.

You need to find one that also does attachments... that can be trickier.

Anyway, take a look around google... and maybe some other posts that are related here (probly in different forms that just "html" 'cause this is more advanced than that).

Make sense?

I did see a form that would do that w/o server-side langs, but it was IE-only. And we can't have that, can we?

A file? It's possible to specify a mailto: target for forms, but it's very unreliable. And I shudder to think what it would make of a file input.

Why not simply ask them to send pictures to your gmailbox with a simple

<A HREF="mailto:mygmailbox">send pix</A>

?

That's a heck of a lot easier

What, you mean actually take the easy option?
