Form Help

[henry715]

I am trying to create a form for a website. heres what i want it to do:

user fills our info (name, address, notes, etc.)
then, when the user selects submit:
.the form validates that certain fields are filled out
.the info is pulled and emailed to me
then, they receive a screen that says that their info has been submitted.

I am able to create a form in dreamweaver that validates the info, but i cant get it to pull the info and submit to me. does anyone know where i can get some source code for this or can offer advice on what i should be doing?

thanks a lot.:drool:

this may be in the wrong section. if it is, let me know and ill move it.

Forms require an action page that actually process the information that is submitted. This usually requires CGI or some other server side technology like PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion

i dont really understand php, asp, or coldfusion (im not the brightest crayon in the box)

is this something that i just need a CGI page that i upload to my server and then my form will search for it when the submit button is clicked? is there somewhere on the web that i can get this script so that i dont have to write it from scratch?

Well that all depends on your server. You specify the processing page in the action attribute of the form tag.

Do you (or does anyone) have a link for where I could get some of these CGI scripts?
