Question Is there a simple java script out there that would allow for one to set-up a "Contact Us" page with a browse button that will select a picture file and then send it to a designated email address? I'm referring to something other than the senders default email program like Outlook or Outloo Express?
Answer The processing for that kind of thing is typically done in a server-side language like PHP, ASP, or PERL, and not in javascript. It would involve uploading the picture file to the server and then sending an HTML email with the picture linked in the email.
This isn't something you want to look at JavaScript to manage. If I were doing this, I'd be looking more at PHP.
