Q: about linking e-mail adress to e-mail program & making a fill-in form

[Ivan²]

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this forum and I have a question about linking an e-mail adress to a visitors e-mail program and how to make a fill-in form in Xara Web Desinger MX Premium.

I started building a website with a contact page.
This page shows my e-mail adres that I would like to make a clickable object/text.
A visitor who clicks on this e-mail adres should then automatically be redirected to his e-mail program.
How do you do make this happen (if it's possible, that is)?

I also would like to have a fill in form on the contact page where visitors can leave a message and their contact data.
This message and the data should be forwarded to my e-mail account.
How is this done?

Thaks in advance.
Ivan

Ps: I'm a Belgian bloke so forgive me if my English is a bit sloppy.

Welcome to TalkGraphics

Sometimes it is better on your contact page to use something link Send e-Mail then link it to your e-mail address in the Links section (Website Properties > Links).

This way, Xara scrambles your e-mail address until the visitor clicks the linked text then the link will automatically open the visitor's default e-mail program (no need for you to do anything--it is automatic).

Look in the Designs Gallery > Page Elements and Widgets section, there are quite a few form widgets.
