html email agent in a web page
Hello.
I'm new to JavaScript and jQuery. I play a little with J2SE, JSP-JSTL, JDBC ...
I'm making a web site whose one page is dedicated to an email agent. Layout is ready in html. What is the usual way to implement this functionality ? I imagine ...
- that the 'send' button packetizes every form field as a particular parameter of a request to be send to the mail server which is connected to my web server (by a hosting service).
- that I need some JavaScript or jQuery to make possibly some field validation (of the caller e-mail address, of the allowed remaining characters in the message body, ...)
Can you tell me where to find a good tutorial or example code on this topic ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
