I need to send email along with subject and message.I went through many blogs,but most of them used ajax and PHP. Is there any means to send mail only using ajax or JavaScript alone???I don't want to use mailto in html..IF there is any other means to do please help me!!
Thanks in advance :)
You can use:
var link = "mailto:[email protected]"
+ "[email protected]"
+ "&subject=" + escape("This is my subject")
+ "&body=" + escape("This is body")
;
window.location.href = link;
You can use this library for making ajax calls to send emails.
Updated-C# code for sending mails:
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("mail.MyWebsiteDomainName.com", 25);
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "myIDPassword");
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//Setting From , To and CC
mail.From = new MailAddress("info@MyWebsiteDomainName", "MyWeb Site");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("info@MyWebsiteDomainName"));
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
smtpClient.Send(mail);
JavaScript is of course client based so doesn't have the capabilities as say C# or PHP on the server. To send email, without calling some server-side code, you are basically limited to mailto option only.
I don't know any possibility to send mail from javascript without using your local mail client and mailto except using third party apis:
Here is a tutorial that uses Ajax to send mails but you have to get a mandrill api key first:
For sending email you required some smtp server as JavaScript is client script language
Nodemailer looks like a nice Node.js mailing library. I didn't test it though.
