Using Email

Setting up an Email Link	Everyone who has a web site wants to hear from their visitors. Especially if you're selling something or offering some kind of service. Besides, receiving email from your own web site is fun. You can set up a link on your site for email, in a variety of ways. Through a simple link, a graphical link or a web form.
An Email Link Send Me An Email	A textual link is exactly the same as a page to page link. The only difference is the value you enter in the HREF parameter. The link to the left was created with the following HTML: <a href="mailto:springsweb@aol.com">Send Me An Email</a>
An Email Graphic	A graphical link is exactly the same as the link above. The only difference is the text 'Send Me An Email' is replaced with the image command. The link to the left was created with the following HTML: <a href="mailto:springsweb@aol.com"> <img src="../img/email.gif" border=0 alt="Send me an email"> </a>
An Email Form	Form emails are a bit more complicated. Setting up pre-determined fields to be filled out by your guest, captured and then emailed to your email account requires an email program. Many Web Service providers, and Web Hosting sites, offer a generic email program that can be used by anyone using their service. All of these services provide tutorials for how to use their program and code your webpage to use it.
