<br />
Second, go here to learn how to make a form:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlstyle.com/reference/forms.php">http://www.htmlstyle.com/reference/forms.php</a><!-- m --><!--content-->Mainly put this in your opening form tag:<br />
<br />
<form method="POST" action="mailto:[email protected]"><!--content-->except that the mailto: command does not always work as expected. Case: On win98 machines it will submit the for to a email address. On winnnt/ 2000 machines it opens the native mail program (if it exists) and just puts the mailto: address in the to: collumn. Thats it. no form data. <br />
<br />
There are webistes which can process your form with CGI (outside your own site). Also, its not too hard to get a webserver who supports CGI.<!--content-->Try a remotely hosted cgi email-form from bravenet.com<!--content-->theres always freedback<br />
