Not with html. HTML forms send emails in a text format. If you want html forms you are going to need a server side language. Also HTML forms are not reliable and only work if a user has a mail client on their computer. Do you know what server side language you host supports?

hi first of all thanks for your reply. I'm thinking of using jsp and i would like to send a sort of template with information as chosen by the user in a form of an e-mail. Do you have an idea how to formulate this template to be send by e-mail. Thanks in advance

First of all, do you know PHP? PHP is a good way to have a HTML form sent to email. But, as said, it can't be done with just html. You need some kind of server side language. Is that all that you want to do, or do you need to do something more complex than that?;)

JSP is a server side language and so is CGI so perl and JSP are fine.
