Contact Form Error

Question

I have a website which has a contact form:

index.html

<form id="form" action="contact.aspx" method="POST">
<p><label>Your Name</label><input name="nome" type="text"></p>
<p><label>Your Email</label><input name="email" type="text"></p>
<p><label>Your Message</label><textarea name="mensagem"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

This forms requests a asp.net page (contact.aspx)

<%@ page language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Text" %>

<%
MailMessage objEmail = new MailMessage();
objEmail.From = new MailAddress("myemail@mydomain.com");
objEmail.To.Add("myemail@mydomain.com");
objEmail.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
objEmail.IsBodyHtml = true;
objEmail.Subject = "Mysubject";
objEmail.Body = "Mycontent";
SmtpClient objSmtp = new SmtpClient();
objSmtp.Host = "localhost";
objSmtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("myemail@mydomain.com", "mypassword");
objSmtp.Send(objEmail);
%>

When someone uses the contact form, I can receive the email. However, on the subject, it only appears "Mysubject" and, on the body, it only appears "Mycontent". What do I have to change in order to receive the data that the user put on the form?

You need to find the posted data in Request.Form by their name. Your code should look like this:

<%@ page language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Text" %>

<%
MailMessage objEmail = new MailMessage();
objEmail.From = new MailAddress("myemail@mydomain.com");
objEmail.To.Add("myemail@mydomain.com");
objEmail.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
objEmail.IsBodyHtml = true;
objEmail.Subject = Request.Form["subject"];
objEmail.Body = Request.Form["mensagem"];
SmtpClient objSmtp = new SmtpClient();
objSmtp.Host = "localhost";
objSmtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("myemail@mydomain.com", "mypassword");
objSmtp.Send(objEmail);
%>

In the html you are missing the "subject" field. Your markup should be like this:

<form id="form" action="contact.aspx" method="POST">
<p><label>Your Name</label><input name="nome" type="text"></p>
<p><label>Your Email</label><input name="email" type="text"></p>
<p><label>Your Subject</label><input name="subject" type="text"></p>
<p><label>Your Message</label><textarea name="mensagem"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>
