As I wrote in the title, is there any way to do that?
For example, Let's say I make some form tags that users will be typing their names and email addresses and submit button with html.
And the user inputs will be sent as an email to my email address as they press the submit button.
I think it is a dangerous thing to try because of security reasons but I wanted to know if there is such a way to do so.
Thanks!

Basically i'm creating a website for a friend and he needs a "Contact Us Page", i'm using bootstrap studio and I have a page where you enter your name, and email. But i'm having trouble with the next part. I need the page to open the client's default email program to compose to a certain address with the entered name and email already in it how would one go about this?
simply do something like this
Click Here To Email!
if you want the email to be sent via a form submission you either need to setup a backend that will do that or you can use a service like https://formspree.io/
I've used them before, but I'm not certain what they're rules are about data privacy so its really up to you.
So I want to have a form that limits registered user to at least 20 without email address duplication. When it already hits 20, the form closes
I think you should track the number of users at the server side and use this number to show or hide your form after a particular threshold.
For email verification your app should have some server side logic which will be called whenever some one enters an email and if this email exist already then your form's submit button should be disable.
I hope this will help.
I am sending simple html templated emails to users, now i want to include text box and submit button in my email template. user can put text in textbox in email and submit data, that data will save in my database. How can i do this? any suggestions?
Add a link in your email content to redirect on the form in browser.
Look on this website to understand why put a form in an email is not good way : Send a Form via Email
Add a link to redirect them to browser form is nicer, and you can add some variable at the URL to recognize the user too like http://testingsite.com/form?user=xxx, so that u can know who is the user and pre-filled date or them.
I am taking emails id's on input form along with other details like name, address,contact no etc. Now, User can enter any email id's.
e.g. abc#abc.com
I can do check for standard domain whether is it present or not. but Is there any way available to check that email id exist or not?
Is there any API available??
How can i detect wrong email id's.
would be grateful for help...
The only valid solution to detect if an email address exists is to send an email and wait for answer.
Most of the times you also want to be sure that your user is the owner of the account, and this solution does both checks.
You can't do this client-side only, you'll need a server-side API. Precise your language (or google "send email yourLanguage").
The way to check is to send a link to that email, user clicking on that link verifies if email is valid or not. Invalid emails won't response of course.
If email is valid and user clicks on the link you send him, you can register him or do any other action you want.
A lot of times you get a form where you need to enter an email address (or other form field) twice in order to confirm that you typed it correctly the first time. Some forms disable the copy and paste action (via javascript) in the browser to force the user to type the email address again.
Personally I find this highly annoying. What are your thoughts? Are there other options?
If you really want to check the email address you could implement a confirm email address function, which sends an email to the provided email address. The email could contain a link which allows the user to confirm his/her email address.
For obscured fields like password fields, it is always best to implement a double entry input field in case the user made a typo.
I find it highly annoying as well since, in many cases, the initial entry was done from an autofill that I know is correct.
Please note that this should be a community wiki!
I think it depends on the site, if its something like a commerce site, I'd support disabling the copy and paste because if the address is typed in wrong it can cause pains for both the site and the customer. It's easier for everyone to just inconvenience the customer for 2 seconds during the process instead of having to deal with it later.
I personally disagree with disabling the copy and paste thing. If the user enters the wrong email twice and identically (worst case scenario) it's his fault really.
You should just believe the user. If he mistypes the address, live with it.
First of all, if you confirm registration by sending an email, on the “Now wait for an email and click a confirmation link there” screen you can still show the address to which an email was sent. It can be followed by a link “Oops, mistypes my email address” letting you to correct yourself.
Second, if you use email for notifications, user will not get them, and, curious, he will go to his/her profile settings to check the notification parameters. You just have to make sure that “E-mail” input is next to “Get notifications” checkbox.
