How can use a simple e-mail form in in5

Question

I am using CC2015 and I want to make and use a very simpel e-mail form. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can create a hyperlink to an email address, but creating a working form would require address scripting and a server-side script (e.g., PHP).

Alternatively, you could email html from an outside service that would the server-side code, e.g.:
http://www.123contactform.com/email-form/

Or, try embedding this code:

No problem.

You can insert the code using Object > Insert HTML... in InDesign.
