Greetings!
I am looking for info on how to put a catalog order form on my page. I tried with a regular form, but it was such a hassle to read the info. Is there a way to use a form and have the info in a presentable fashion and add them to a mailing list?
Any help GREATLY appreciated!Hi RexB,
Welcome to HTMLforums.
You should be able to make a nice looking catalog/shopping cart. You must use forms to do so. In case you will be using CGI/PERL here is a link to many shopping cart scripts:

Actually I am just looking for a way to set up a mailing list for mailing out a paper catalog and trying to figure out how to build that kind of form on the site so that it will send me readable info..... later in the development of the site I will go for the shopping cart, so thank you for that info.If you haven't already, you should add
ENCTYPE="text/plain"
to your form tag. This makes the submission a bit more readable.
If you want to add the user to a mailing list automatically, this can't be done without CGI or other.
However, you should be able to read the e-mail address clearly when using the code above.
-aslefoOK, I gottcha now. When in doubt use a search engine, here is the result of a google search for "Mailing list script"
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=Mailing+list+script">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=& ... ist+script</a><!-- m -->
You could setup the mailing list on your own computer, but it might be easier to set it up on your webserver with an automated script.
