Im trying to make a email form where people can visit our site and send us emails.

Since I am not sure if I can add PHP code, lets stick to JS and HTML. I believe I can add JS libraries:

Basically:

Introduce your email address
Dropdown box that you can contact "Sales", "Support", "Other"
Once you select one of these another dropdown box gets enabled with emails avaliable also to pick from that section.
Then subject and message (text only) to send.

Also, Im wondering that once a email is selected, is it possible to show a picture? We have a male support member that is always being confused with a girl so...

Once all this, I should send it out from a "fakemail@domain.com" to forward to whoever sent it. The problem is that when a member of the staff recieves it, he should be able to reply directly to the person who sent it, not have to read the email to replace the "fakemail@domain.com" address.

Also NO DATABASES INVOLVED (just in case someone was thinking about that for the dropdown boxes)
