jquery - Email contact form without PHP

Question

I'd like to use a contact form for a website I'm creating, but PHP is not an option since the client doesn't wish to use it. Is there a clever way to work around this somehow, by sending email parameters (which is non-standard) perhaps, or by using an external contact form? Are there any good ones that don't use advertising and are easily modified to a different language for example?

Thank you.

Check out formspree.

For action you simply put:

<form action="http://formspree.io/you@email.com" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="email" name="_replyto">
<input type="submit" value="Send">

After verifying your email after the first send this will email you the contents of the form. One thing to keep in mind is that this will take the input names. If you do not include input names it won't send you that form field.
