what happens if the user does not have a e-mail programme? is there some way of allowing them to contact me by creating a e-mail link?<!--content-->It is unlikely they will be surfing the internet and not have an e-mail program of some sort. However, the other option is to create a form that they can fill in and post to you. This will involve some server-side programming, probably a perl script to handle the form submission. I think you can Download <!--more--> such things pretty easily from the internet but for more help on this, post to the Server-Side Programming forum.<!--content-->:D you could use a cgi sendmailer or similar, goto <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com">www.hotscripts.com</a><!-- w --> and search for one of these or use a bravenet hosted script.<br />

:D oh, Spidermonkey sounds better :D<!--content-->dang... with all the spiderman hype going on, and the new flick out early next year.....!!! Fitting to be called Dr. Web, and have the Spidey Avatar....<br />
<br />
Goldi... great minds think alike! Cheers!<!--content-->Basically a form handler would do the work better and more efficiently. Remotely hosted ones like Freedback and Response-O-Matic will work without knowledge of CGI and you won't need a CGI-enabled server.<br />
