Check out this free form generator http://www.intrinzicdesignz.com/formgen/

Answer 2

you will have to create a server side program or use front page server extensions to do that. I usually use php for the server side script. then you will have your HTML form post the values to the server side script.

Answer 4

This is 9 years old. Ask them about a CGI script or you can use or PHP if they will let you. This is what I used. On a free site though you may ask to see what they have. They may have this already someplace.





-------------------- This is the cgi script----------------------





#!/usr/local/bin/perl4

push (@INC, '/cgi-bin');

require ('cgi-lib.pl');



# This should match the mail program on your system.

$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';



# This should be set to the username or alias that processes the

# requests





#------ Change 1 ----- Replace the login with your actual login name





$recipient = "you\@yourdomain.org";





# Print out a content-type for HTTP/1.0 compatibility

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";



# Print a title and initial heading

print "";



&ReadParse;



#------ Change 2 ----- Replace the login with your actual login name



open (MAIL, "|$mailprog $recipient") || die "Unable to send request\nPlease send e-mail to you\@yourdomain.org, Thank you\n";

#open (MAIL, ">test") || die "Cannot open STDOUT: $!\n";

print MAIL "Reply-to: $in{'email'}\n";

print MAIL "Subject: Feedback Form\n";

print MAIL "\n\n";

#print "*$#in_key\n";

foreach $i (0 .. $#in_key){

#print "$in_key[$i] = $in_val[$i], i = $i

";

print MAIL "$in_key[$i] = $in_val[$i]\n";

}

print MAIL "-----------------------------------------------\n";

close (MAIL);



# ------Change 3-------- (Optional): You can replace some of the words below.

# You may want to not change it first and test it online.

print '';

print '';

print '
