sending an email using JavaScript
Question
I'm trying to come up a way to send email via JavaScript , and after some search I found this tutorial exampling how to do it using Mandrill . Thus, I went ahead trying the API, and I'm not having success so far.
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateMyForm()
{
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json',
data: {
‘key’: ‘MY KEY’,
‘message’: {
‘from_email’: ‘SOMEONE@EMAIL.COM’,
‘to’: [
{
‘email’: ‘MY@EMAIL.COM’,
‘name’: ‘MYSELF’,
‘type’: ‘to’
}
],
‘autotext’: ‘true’,
‘subject’: ‘Hello World’,
‘html’: ‘YOUR EMAIL CONTENT HERE! YOU CAN USE HTML!’
}
}
}).done(function(response) {
console.log(response); // if you're into that sorta thing
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" onsubmit="return validateMyForm();">
Email: <input name="email" type="text" /><br />
Subject: <input name="subject" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="comment" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input id="sendmail" type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Moreover, I see firebug reporting me the following error:
SyntaxError: missing : after property id
‘key’: ‘MY_KEY€™,
When I look at the page, I see:
function validateMyForm()
{
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json',
data: {
‘key’: ‘MY_KEY€™,
‘message’: {
‘from_email’: ‘MY_EMAIL@EMAIL.COM€™,
‘to’: [
{
‘email’: ‘SOMEONE'S EMAIL’,
‘name’: ‘MY NAME’,
‘type’: ‘to’
}
],
‘autotext’: ‘true’,
‘subject’: ‘Hello World’,
‘html’: ‘YOUR EMAIL CONTENT HERE! YOU CAN USE HTML!’
}
}
}).done(function(response) {
console.log(response); // if you're into that sorta thing
});
}
I have no idea why Firefox is doing that ... So there are two problems I'm asking in this question:
- Why is Firefox returning those weird symbols?
- How can I make the
validateMyForm()function to send me an email?

You're using funky quotes: ' . Change them to single quotes: ' .

Ensure that you are using the right encoding to read the file - It is look like you saved the file with an encoding that FireFox can't infer.

You're using funky quotes: '. Replace them with single quotes: ', example:
data: {
'key': 'MY KEY',
'message': {
