Sending Email using Javascript

I am getting a debug error stating ";" missing colon. This code does not work. I am using classic asp

function SENDRMS()
{
            set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
            myMail.Subject="Commercial Loan Advance Draw"
            myMail.From="druffin@anchorbank.com"
            myMail.To="druffin@anchorbank.com"
            myMail.TextBody="This commercial loans needs to be approved."
            myMail.Send
            set myMail=nothing
}

<input id="RM" type="button" value="Click Here to Send TO RM's Approve" onclick="javascript:SENDRMS();"
                                                      NAME="RM">

You can't send an email directly with javascript.

However you can open the user's mail client:

window.open('mailto:test@example.com');

There is also some parameters to pre-fill the subject and the body:

window.open('mailto:test@example.com?subject=subject&body=body');

Hope That Helps !

It looks like you are trying to use javascript in the browser to call an ASP routine on the server. That simply isn't allowed. You can create a link to the page with the ASP routine like <a href="SENDRMS.asp">Click Here to Send TO RM's Approve</a>.

I have created this sendmail.inc and I am including this into my asp page. I keep getting the end of statment error and I can not find what is going on. I have attached my the page I am trying to send.

Dave Baldwin

You didn't attach anything.

The attached file should be sendmail.inc but it not in the list of possible upload files so I changed the extension. I have bee just trying to send a email. Please review this and let me know.
SendMail.txt

That code assumes that there will be a SMTP server to send email on the local computer. In most cases, that is not going to be true so it won't work most of the time.
