I'm new to DNN and need a little help.  I'm trying to wire up the Send button on my website Contact page.  Is this something that I "configure" through DNN, or do I write a handler in the code behind?

I believe I have configured my SMTP server because it tests successfully.  I have purchased a website template and do not see that the Send button's click event is handled.  I am a .NET developer and am resisting the temptation to open this up in Visual Studio and start coding the way I know how. 

The html section on my page is this:

<div class="contact_input_style">
<p>Please leave your contact info and we'll get in touch.</p>
<p>Your Name<span>*</span></p>
<input class="contact_input_box" type="text" />
<p>Your Email<span>*</span></p>
<input class="contact_input_box" type="text" />
<p>Your Phone<span>*</span></p>
<input class="contact_input_box" type="text" />
<p>Your Message<span>*</span></p>
<textarea class="contact_textarea_box" type="text"></textarea>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Send Message</button>
</div>

 I'd appreciate any help to get this working and also an explanation to help me understand.

Thanks.

Although so far I am not having success. (I've watched your video on installing a module). In my case, when I go to Host, Extensions, I just get a blank page.

The quickest way to do this sort of thing is to use the Razor Host module - instead of HTML module.

The HTML module is best thought of as a general content display tool (put some HTML on this part of this page).
The Razor Host module on the other hand lets you create programmable elements without the need for creating a full custom module.

As such - you would put your HTML from the original post in the Razor Host module - and include some razorscript code to handle the button click.

I prefer using as opposed to but either way make sure u define a button name and value



@{
if(IsPost)
{
switch ( Request.Form[ "btnName" ] )
{
case "btnPressed":

// Code to handle the reaction to the button click
// need to make sure that the button on YOUR module is the one that was hit - remembers its possible other modules on the page like the dnn search button exist

break;
}
}
}
