I am trying to create a form for a pre-made form for other people to use, that emails the results of it to the client. The problem is, most of my clients don't support SQL, or PHP, so they and AJAX are not an option.
It should work something like this:
<form name="form" action="email()"
<input type="text">
<input type="slider">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
etc. Any idea how to do this without AJAX or a library?
You have to have a server side component to send an email properly.
The email needs to be sent from a mail server. Spam would be a bigger problem than it is if you could send an email from the client side.
This article references posting directly to the MX server but it's unreliable.

You can also send the email from a service like MailGun. Without doing this from the server side you risk exposing your token to spammers looking for open ports.
A server is the correct and secure way to do it.
