I'm getting ready to help someone out with a mom& pop type business.
They want to have a form where you have you drop downs and all the usual form type things.
The problem is at the submit. She doesn't have any kind of database and she's not running it though a dynamic page using ASP or PHP. I get the impression she just wants the form to generate an order form that will get emailed to her directly from the site.
I've done some crappy forms in school where the submit would generate the order and email it.. but it would do it by opening Outlook or whatever. It wouldn't mail it directly from the server. So if the person doesn't have their mail app setup then it was more or less useless.
