Hi:

I need some help,

I have a form on one of my pages and I need to save the information the user inputs, submit the form via e-mail and redirected to a thank you page.

What I have done is set a JavaScript cookie in order to re populate the fields when the user comes back to that form.

well the cookie is only set if I do not submit the form via e-mail (with a cgi).

Can anyone help me, I do not know cgi, pearl or asp which have been some of the suggestions given.
