Based on the OP's post I am guessing that may not be a good
assumption...

It depends on what you have available on the server. Forms are
processed server side.

It's also not a good idea to put a form into an email. There are a lot
of people whose email does not, or will not, display HTML. Give the
recipient a link to a page on the site that has the form.

You will also probably want to keep records in a database. Again, you
will have to find out what is available on the server.

Please fix your signature. A signature should have two dashes followed
by a space and a carriage return - conforming news clients will then
snip the signature on reply.

email form tells me this will be handled most likely by the server.
with is short description, that further tells me that he would need
something that works server side. most websites include cgi. ergo, if
he has the knowledge to work with cgi, then that may be one solution.
I know for a fact that this particular website has an email form maker
in cgi and could be what he's looking for.

I am not aware that html can handle email forms. JS might but that may
cause more problems than it's worth.

It did not sound as if he did have that knowledge to me.

I am not aware that html can handle email forms.

I cannot processes forms data. HTML is just markup.

Well you are all right I don't know anything about cgi and side servers
so it looks like I got some learning to do
1/ basically I need a server to host the program ?
2/ and that server then forwards the info to my email ?
3/ then I need the page and code to do the job ?

Thanks All

There are services which will provide much of what you want, for free,
assuming your needs are not too great, e.g. BraveNet.com .
