"Email this page to a friend" form?? - 3/17/2008 15:06:05   
Hi,
I am a student working for a church helping with their new website and there's still a lot that we have to figure out.
One of the things we are trying to do for the Easter web campaign is create an "email this page to a friend" kind of link. We want it to work kind of like Ebay's email to a friend page

to see what I mean.
Also please see this page, click on Forward to a friend - it sends the recipient an email with an explanation of the auto email & where it came from, puts in the headline and description of the product and then shows an image of it, along with a link to the product.

Can someone give me an overview of what I need to do to accomplish *something* like this?

Alternatively, a mailto popup with all that info preloaded into the email would work too if that would be easier...

Thanks so much!!

What OS are you one - *NIX or Windows? What server side language(s) does your server support?

the server runs on linux, we operate on windows here at the office (is that what you were asking?)
I went to the server's site, we're using 1and1.com. from what I can gather it supports asp, php, and cgi.

It does come with a form maker application..I'm just wondering how I can make it pre-loaded with our statement/links, and then have the "send" button automatically send it to the address they filled in.

Thanks for your help!!

If your site runs ASP, does it have the JMail component installed? If so - check out Processing the Form with the JMail EMail Component for the code.
