aMail Generate and send email from a simple form

This awesome project was born when my friend and colleague Fred Audet generously shared his BIG IDEA with me and tried to have me work on it. Thing is, I was already drowning in an overabundance of jobs and had no time for my pal. But on a hot and relentless evening, I decided to take the bull by the horns and use my precious hours to finally do it and create a very cool library that Fred and all of you guys can use.

The idea is to use PHP to send auto generated emails. The library needs to be cross-browser and fully compatible with any simple form code.

Only 5k and supporting multi-lang (english, français, and you can add your own). Work well with input, radio, checkbox and hidden field!

Demo form

Form Code

    </p>
    <p>
        <label for="email">Email</label><br />
        <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="your.name@domain.com" />

    <p>
        <label for="website">Website Url</label><br />
        <input type="text" name="website" id="website" value="http://" />
    </p>
    <p>
        <label for="comment">Comments and/or Suggestions</label><br />
        <textarea name="comment" id="comment"></textarea>
    </p>

    <button type="submit" name="submit">Send</button>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" src="amail.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">amail.add('form-demo');</script>

Hacks

If you want the form to be replaced with the confirmation message, add a div over the form with the id: amail-msg
