Do some research on the following html tags:

Code: [ Select ]
<form></form>
<input>
<textarea></textarea>
  1. <form></form>
  2. <input>
  3. <textarea></textarea>


After you get that built, you'll need a scripting language like php to take care of the data.

As long as you can use PHP, this topic will help.

Copy and paste this code into your favorite HTML editor then view as an HTML page. This is only a simple layout for an email form. I have included a text area, radio button, and text field. THe important thing to note is the ' name="" ' part of your input code. Whatever you enter into the name area will be what is sent to you in the email. I already inserted the close form code. When you follow my previous post and get DynaForm, it will tell you what to insert into your Open Form code. Hope this helps! :D

Shark, you forgot the opening form tag. That's essential. Either that or I'm going blind (it is midnight and it's been a long day).

Not at all. I explained that in my post. I gave him the link to a thread the I posted in that featured a PHP mailer called DynaForm. DynaForm has its own open form tag. So i said and I quote:

LOL i didnt want to do the whole thing for him. How would he learn? I just gave the beginnings! LOL but well done Nem :D

//edit: might as well put the DynaForm open form tag :P

Code: [ Select ]
<form action='dynaform.php' method='POST'>


The mailto command is very quickly becoming outdated. I dont even use it anymore. I always suggest using a PHP mailer. Thats just my personal opinion though.
