texte = Hello everybody,How do you guys implement 'Email an article to a friend' feature used in many sites these days? Specifically, how to process a web form with a page's URL, receiver's address, sender's notes et el? That's where I'm stuck. Could someone please share some of the best practices?As for me, I use JavaScript to do that, and it works fine cross-platform and cross-browser, although I'm not sure if the client-side approach is better option than server-side (WebCat) in this case.There must be a good reason why sites which using 'Email to a friend' feature prefer server-side...They have web forms and Perl or PHP processing files. But how the same can be achieved using WebDNA code?On the other hand, server-side approach assumes trips to a server which seems to me kind of overkill for that type of task (again, maybe I'm wrong here). I'm puzzled. Any possible help in clarifying it would be really appreciated.
