An online contact form is a form inside a webpage, which allows a website's visitors to interact with the website's owner. With the help of this online contact form, the interaction is done instantly and in a convenient way.

Mainly, an online contact form consists of textboxes, where visitors may/must fill in their contact details such as name, surname and telephone number. It also consists of a textbox where visitors must fill in their comments, and one or two buttons which usually are the "Submit" and the "Reset" buttons. The "Submit" button is used to submit the details filled in by the visitor, and the "Reset" button is used to clear the details filled inside the textboxes.

We are releasing this FREE online contact form application, which you can easily unpackage on your website, using DotNetMushroom RAD. No programming skills are required. The only thing required is DotNetMushroom RAD installed on the website to unpackage the online contact form application.

This DotNetMushroom application has passed our thorough testing procedure which includes functional and visual crossbrowser compatibility.

Safer Interaction

This online contact form application makes it simple and safer to allow website visitors to communicate with the website owner. It is safer than publishing your email address as an html "mailto:" link. This is because the latter is more prone to spamming.

In fact, the text inside the tooltip gives tips on what is needed from the visitor to correctly fill in that textbox. This contact form application has a tooltip for each textbox and button. Like the validation the tooltip text is fully customizable using DotNetMushroom RAD and the way it is displayed is also fully customizable through the commented CSS file provided.
