Default E-mail???

Is it possible to automatically e-mail someone(like an order confirmation)?

If not with JavaScript, with some other language?

Thanks ahead of time....

Well, now that I think about it, this is kind of what I'm asking...

Is there a best language to do this, or does it matter?

Thanks for the quick reply

Snib,
No it really does not matter what language you use on the server side for the purpose of sending an email, Im sure it can be sone in most server side languages.
The below example shows how easy it can be with asp and VBScript.

Thanks Rodmcleay

The script you have provided looks very simple and I would like to use it. However, I don't know the first thing about ASP, what do I do with this script? Where do I put it?

Thanks again

Snib
