I would like to find a good one or have someone post one up here because the look of my forms are typical and plain and i cant stand it. how do you change the backgrounds and borders and put in your own submit buttons.<br />
<br />
oh and definately how do you set up a form so people can send you an attachment in the form.<br />
<br />
thanks<!--content-->dude I can really help you out here. how you do it is CSS ... do you know any CSS?<br />
<br />
try something like this:<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css"><!--<br />
input.text { background: black;<br />
color: white;<br />
border: outset;<br />
}<br />
//--></style><br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
<input class="text" type="text" size="10"><br />
<br />
That gives you a black text box with white letters that sorta looks like a button.<br />
The attachment thing is just another input type:<br />
<br />
<input type="file"><br />
<br />
It automatically puts a text box for the path along with a Browse ... button.<br />
<br />
Get back to you later if you need more ... gotta go to my next class.<br />
