One way to send email from a form has been covered here but that was using the "text" type of input. This is another input type which is used for input fields that should contain an e-mail address:
Depending on browser support, the e-mail address can be automatically validated when submitted.
| HTML file: | Displayed by browser: |
|---|---|
|
<form action="http://www.w3schools.com/html/action_page.php">
E-mail: <input type="email" name="email"> <input type="submit"> </form> |
Take note that some smartphones recognize the email type, and adds ".com" to the keyboard to match email input. This does not work in Safari.
