title: Sending email from webpage without any server side support
body: <p>An HTML form has been filled out and now it's time to send the data via email. The server hosting the HTML is not running any server side scripting language like <em>PHP, ASP, CGI</em> etc. The owners don't want the email coming from outside of their walls, so no <strong>SMTP.js</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>A fellow at work provided the SMPT server and port 25 and says to use Websockets, or to use Flash. I'm under the impression that port 25 is blocked by browsers, and they will need some kind of server side support to send an email. Alternatively, to use a mailto link to utilize their computer's email client. </p>
  
  <p>Maybe I'm not up on current technologies. Are websocket the way to go? Don't they need a websocket server running to answer those calls? </p>
  
  <p>Is there another solution to sending email from <strong>Javascript</strong> directly to an <strong>SMTP</strong> server?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks to some highlighting, looks like I had SMTP.js confused with smtpjs, which just uses someone else's server to send mail. SMTPJS needs node.js, which they aren't running. Darn.</p>
