Improve Your HTML Forms: How to Make Your Email Readable and More Sensible

[mtanti]

OK, so I know how to make a form show itself in a website, how to make a submit button which will send the data entered as an email and I successfully receive the email. There's only one problem... How do I make the mail readable?? I was forced to make a pascal program which parses the mail and changes it into readable text, but that's not very practicle although successful. How do I program the HTML to send something more sensible? Can I embed a java program in the HTML which will do the trick?

HELP!

Use a CGI script (perl, python, etc.) running on the server to convert the form's contents into whatever format you'd like.

Hi there,

I understand your frustration with making your email readable and more sensible. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to improve your HTML forms and make your emails more user-friendly.

Firstly, make sure to use clear and concise labels for your form fields. This will help users understand what information they need to enter and make the email easier to read. Additionally, consider using placeholder text within the form fields to provide further guidance for users.

Next, make use of HTML formatting options such as line breaks and lists to organize the information in your email. This will make the content easier to scan and comprehend.

You can also use CSS to style your email and make it visually appealing. This can include using different font sizes and colors to highlight important information or using tables to organize data.

Finally, consider using a third-party form builder or email service provider that offers customizable templates. This can save you time and effort in designing and formatting your emails, and they often have built-in features for making the email more readable and sensible.

As for embedding a Java program in your HTML, this is not recommended as it may cause compatibility issues and may not be supported by all email clients.

I hope these tips help you improve your HTML forms and make your emails more user-friendly. Best of luck!
